Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has tried the Waterbabies swimming lessons at Lewisham Hospital? I've heard good things about Waterbabies, but curious what the Therapy Pool is like at the hospital. Has anyone tried it? Is it nice? Clean etc.? They seem to have lots of classes there but my other half isn't keen on using the hospital pool.

Thanks!

Hello, We've been going to waterbabies at Lewisham for almost a year now. It's always been very clean and hygienic, never had any complaints from our visits.


If someone does have an 'accident' in the pool, they always let us know and cancel the class straight away. A make up class is usually offered later on.


My son loves his classes and is really a confident boy in the water at only 16months, I think taking him along from about early on, and the approach the teachers have there has really been great.


Can't recommend them enough.

Little Saff and I loved Water Babies at Lewisham hospital therapy pool. The pool is lovely and warm all year long. It's a therapy pool, so it has to be warm.


The pool was always super clean as well. The only drawback is that there isn't a lot of changing space. To save time, I wore my swim suit under my clothes to the pool. Getting dry and changed afterwards can be a bit tricky. A spare sarong is handy.


Happy swimming :)

Just to echo the general feeling, we do Aquatots which is also at Lewisham Hospital. Perfectly clean and lovely and warm, although I agree it can get a little cramped. We've known it to be closed once when there was an 'accident', but that was another swim school and nothing to do with the hospital using it. It was also closed for a couple of weeks when the boiler was broken but other than that has been great.


My mum was also a bit funny about it being a hospital pool but actually I think they would need to make sure it is hygenic because of that and probably gets checked more thoroughly than other pools (I like to think anyway!)

    • And the latest shocker, Inflation this morning was 2.3% up from 1.7& the previous month, a 0.6% increase in a month, that is dreadful. So Robber Reeves plan is already working (NOT). Inflation has begun to increase and will continue to do so, I predict the next set of unemployment figures will show a rise. Neither of these things can be blamed on the last Govt, it's down to the inept budget and impact it is having already.
    • Andrews and Arnold are brilliant https://www.aa.net.uk/. If there's any problems someone picks up the phone on the 2nd or 3rd ring and several times they have rung me immediately after I sent an e-mail. As they are primarily B2B, their support is excellent and there are a lot fewer miscommunications with OpenReach. Go to their website and enter your postcode which will show you exactly what type of broadband is available in your area.
    • Because they have been awful - scoring own-goal after own-goal. You cannot be an apologist for their diabolical first 100 days on the basis that the previous lot were worse - in the same way the whole of the 14 years of Tory rule was tarred with the brush of despair about their very worst behaviour in the latter years Labour run the risk of their government being tarred with the same brush on the basis of their first 100 days. It has probably been some of the worst 100 days of any new government and Starmer's approval ratings aren't as low as they are without reason. You know they are in trouble when MPs start posting the good bits from their first 100 days - it's a sure sign they know they have a problem. And when this government have a problem the frontbenchers disappear from media interviews and they roll-out the likes of Pat McFadden to provide some air cover. Yesterday it was farmers. Today it is the pensioners being pushed into poverty by Winter Fuel payments. It's a perceptual disaster and has been since day 1 - they have to get a grip on it else this leadership team is doomed. You highlight the very problem here. Farmers are not being gifted money. They are being gifted assets. Assets that they don't realise as they continue to work those assets to provide food for the country. Most inheritance is cash or an asset (a house) that people sell to generate cash. Passing a farm to younger family members is very different. On the news they interviewed a farmer whose family had owned the farm since 1822 and he broke down in tears when he spoke about his 13 year old son who was working in the farm to continue it - no doubt in the realisation that his son would be hit by a tax bill when he took it over. Given farmers are not cash rich then the decision would likely be that they would need to sell some of the land that generations had worked hard to build to fund the tax bill - and so many farms are on a knife's edge that it might be enough to send them over the edge.   There are many valid reasons why the government are doing what they are doing but those reasons are not cutting through and they are losing control of the narrative. That is a massive issue for them.  
    • Another great job by Simmonds Plastering. This time he decorated the newly plastered living room and added a pantry cupboard in kitchen.  He is reliable and works really hard.  Highly recommend 07949 180 533
