bonaome Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Can’t find out on the website without registering and downloading an app etc. Just wondering how much a swim is if you pay as you go? ta Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/337382-how-much-is-a-swim-at-dulwich/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
peckhambog Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 With Southwark resident account it's 90p I think Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/337382-how-much-is-a-swim-at-dulwich/#findComment-1647249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeePolite Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Free gym and swim Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays if you have proof of Southwark residency otherwise £5.50 I think for non resident or pay as you go, hope this helps Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/337382-how-much-is-a-swim-at-dulwich/#findComment-1647250 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonaome Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share Posted November 24, 2023 Thank you. I am resident. If it's only 90p / swim then I'm good to go. If it's £5.50, I can't afford it. I'll find out which it is and report back in case anyone else is interested. Shame they can't just put the information on the website. Still, the exercise going down there will do me good ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/337382-how-much-is-a-swim-at-dulwich/#findComment-1647307 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigello Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 You have to book ahead, unfortunately. It’s an unnecessary legacy of the pandemic. I hope they amend this. Some special sessions should be bookable (OAP, disabled, single sex, etc.) but not general or lane swimming. 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/337382-how-much-is-a-swim-at-dulwich/#findComment-1647392 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark67 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 The booking system is like the hunger games for swimming, I use the app and you have to make sure you get on it at the right time to get a space, and do it at least 5 days ahead to get a chance if lane swimming (10 people for each of the lanes, slow medium and fast) There's a waiting list if you can't get on, but I've never got a space while on it.. totally confusing as, when Ive managed to get a slot and it says on the website the lanes are full with some on the wait list, i get in the pool to find hardly anyone there, one day there was just three of us, when the website said it was full 🤷♂️ 2 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/337382-how-much-is-a-swim-at-dulwich/#findComment-1647837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
claresy Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I think that people forget to cancel sometimes, hence empty lanes. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/337382-how-much-is-a-swim-at-dulwich/#findComment-1647850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigello Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Please tell them it’s not good enough. I emailed the head of leisure. Also, a man who approached me as I left the building quizzed me about the place. I told him the god and the bad, stressing the unnecessary booking system for swimming, and he told me he may be the new general manager. So, who knows? Maybe it will help bring about a change. Please do email the head of leisure and your councillor. I can’t see them agreeing with such a waste of opportunities to swim when they’re pushing the sport for all line so fervently. Councillor Catherine Rose cabinet member for neighbourhoods, leisure and parks your councillor can be found at WriteToThem. 10 hours ago, claresy said: I think that people forget to cancel sometimes, hence empty lanes. Yeah, which is bad enough, but people also book and then just CBA to turn up. It’s no way to operate a public facility. 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/337382-how-much-is-a-swim-at-dulwich/#findComment-1647913 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewWave Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Its the same with classes...unless you book over a week in advance they are all full, I go on the waitlist then about an hour before the class start places become available. by then its too late to change my arrangements pack my stuff and get to the centre.
