dulwich pool Lane swims

[Alec1]

Is it my imagination or have the 12 & 12.30pm sessions disappeared from most week days? 

[Katherty]

Yes I saw that too and was going to ask them what has happened (I go to those lunchtime weekday sessions regularly). Does anyone know what has happened? 

[Mugpie]

Yeah some quite different schedules since they’ve reopened.  Hopefully just a temporary thing until they get things back on track.  

[Alec1]

I really hope so.  There is no way I could do early morning or late evening. 

[Mugpie]

Looks like they’ve been added back in - be quick!

[Nigello]

But why ask us to book ahead? The system benefits the die-hards who hover over their keyboards and snap up the slots (and don’t always show up).

Apparently the missing slots were reinstated when the pool reopened. All the local pools require you to book, but for some reason you can usually get them same day in Peckham or Camberwell while in Dulwich you have to plan agesin advance. . As you now get charged to not show up I don't imagine many people book and don't turn up, although they may book and cancel (which can only be done a minimum of 4 hours ahead) as that's often the only way to get a swim!  I found it very frustrating that the pool closed with no updates on the app or website except for one before Xmas saying it would open on the 2nd or 3rd - which it didn't. It was impossible to get through to find out what was happening so I had to walk down and ask. They told me the phones were down but didn't bother putting that update on the website or app. I'm pleased it's reopened though!
