Or have both special sessions and turn-up-and-swim sessions (with the emphasis on the latter, because that’s the most accessible and historically and socially acceptable way of doing things, which was only jettisoned because of the effects of a pandemic.
They used to fine people for not turning up, but I think the reception staff were overwhelmed by mistakes/people trying to appeal their fine. I think instead they should just temporarily reduce the booking window for people who don't turn up as a deterrent.
I'd recommend this guy in Fulham (or a digital consultation). I've used him recently and was very impressed with his knowledge and manner, fairly pricey I think but was worth it for an initial chat in my case. https://www.drdropin.uk/dermatologist/dr-james-denny-dermatologist
I said that only some of the time should be set aside for general swimming by removing some of the ring-fencing - see above for proof. Nobody was clamouring for such timed access before Covid; now, lots of people book (often at night when slots open) then sometimes don’t turn up in that hour. It’s hardly the epitome of accessibility (which is one of this council’s pet phrases), and therefore doesn’t encourage would-be swimmers to dip their toes into the water.
