can anyone recommend where to take a 2-year-old swimming tomorrow (Sat), somewhere up to half hr drive from ED? I am thinking 'fun swimming', something like Latchemere centre in battersea, with a shallow end and slides etc.

Ive just looked at 2 websites: the beckenham spa and crystal palace sports centre but they are very confusing, and I cant find what I want.

many thanks!!!

Parking was a bit awkward when we used to go...

The pool itself is very nice. But when I went, I was very annoyed when they closed the pool for half an hour and kicked everyone out, only 20 minutes after we'd got in. No one mentioned this when we were paying, and there seemed no explanation either. I'm assuming health and safety reasons :X

Apparently they did the same thing at Peckham Pulse yesterday when my husband took my son. Does anyone know why they have to close the pool in the middle of the day? I never remember this happening before.


You could try Battersea Latchmere, but it does get very busy, and you have to take a padlock for the locker, or buy one at reception.

Can't wait for Dulwich pool to open next week!

They run sessions at Wavelengths and clear the pool for 20 mins inbetween each one. They should tell you when you go in if there's not much time left before the end of the session but obviously don't. The session times seem to change from timem to time and certainly different in the holidays from normal weekends so best to call before you go and check!

    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.      
    • Hi all Does anyone know someone who can make a window seat cushion and cover? See image of window seat. Thank you.
    • Don't know why but it seems like there have been impromptu fireworks since early September. At one point I even wondered if there was a shooting range or something like that over Dulwich Hamlet way- the direction where the firework sounds seem to be coming from? Is there some kind of new, fireworks craze going on and where are people getting them, out of season?
