Swimming at The Bridge

Our family (me, MrsC + 2 boys aged 4 and 2) spent this lunchtime swimming in the pool at The Bridge leisure centre near the Sainsbury's Savacentre in lower Sydenham. For the whole half hour of our session we were the only people in the training pool - an entire pool to ourselves! We go there from time to time and is is quite quiet but its never been this bad(or do I mean good).

Does anyone else on here use this pool?

Someone recommended The Bridge to me yesterday. Is it a traditional kiddie pool or does it have slides etc? Or does anyone know a kiddie pool around here with slides, other than Wavelengths? We want to go somewhere on Monday for eldest d's birthday treat and I just find Wavelength's changing and shower facilities bizarre - would be nice if there was an alternative.


I'd really appreciate your help xxx

Mrs Keef sometimes takes our daughter to bab swimming sessions at the bridge, which she loves, but it is a bit of a pain to get to on the bus if like us, you're not drivers.


I mis Water Palace in Croydon (Purley Way), it was open in the 90s when I was a teenager. Had loads of different water slides, wave machines, a rapids thing that you went around in rubber rings. Those were the days!

went to the bridges today after reading this thread, pool was really nice, changing rooms clean and lots of cubicles. Problem was that the showers are so close to the pool that it was a bit stressful trying to stop little man curly from darting back into the pool area every two mins, if anyone spotted a little naked boy poolside...wooops! If you go don't follow signs for ladies changing rooms, they are meaningless, follow signs for the pool and to 'changing village'. Also the woman on reception seemed overly fond of the phrase, 'teaching pool is full you will have to use main pool'...(I heard her say it twice to different people), it wasn't true, loads of room in there and we had plenty of fun.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
