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.

thanks citizenED x

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
