SebsC Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hi all! I currently take my 2 year old swimming in the Dulwich Leisure Centre. I can't do school pick up times or after that. The session that we currently go to I'm having to change so am trying to find another pool that we can go to that offers a swim at any time between 10-2. Loads of pools we've looked at there's nothing available as the pools are used for teaching, aquafit etc. can anyone suggest a pool (can drive, so would need parking, but don't want to go too far) that has swimming for little ones during these times? Many thanks. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/36969-swimming-during-the-week-with-a-2-year-old-where-to-go/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
srisky Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Forest hill pool? http://www.fusion-lifestyle.com/centres/Forest_Hill_Pools/activity/SwimmingNot sure about parking but Forest Hill Station is just a short walk plus there are lots of buses that stop either along Dartmouth Rd or at Forest Hill Station.

Jo'sEnglish Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 The new glass mill leisure centre in Lewisham seems to have parent and toddler sessions in the teaching pool most lunchtimes. You can park across the road in the mothercare car park.

duroche Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Beckenham Spa is excellent - great pool and huge changing rooms.We drove there or you can get the train that drops you pretty close by (but not stair free access)Not sure of the pool times but we really loved how big it was!

SebsC Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I liked the look of beckenham spa but unfortunately the timetable doesn't offer anything during the times I need so will have a look at some of the other places. Many thanks.

Oxalis Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 There is a toddler session in the middle of the day on Wednesdays at the Peckham pulse pool. Free car park there and buses stop almost outside.

BeccaL Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 try the Bridge in Sydenham - near the big Sainsbury's - they have parking and a nice little pool. Also free for little one if you have a Lewisham library card - just apply at any library in Lewisham, don't have to live in that borough Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/36969-swimming-during-the-week-with-a-2-year-old-where-to-go/#findComment-684032 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilly1973 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 We swim with Karen at east dulwich, she is a very good teacher... Would recommend. Not worth the money on private classes as they teach the same thing...
