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!)

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
