I went for the first time on Saturday between 12.30 and 1.30. This session has one lane and the rest is general swim. I didn't think that sounded ideal for a few gentler lengths carrying my watermelon but the grandparents were babysitting number one so had to take advantage! I actually really enjoyed it - didn't venture into the fast lane for obvious reasons but found that myself and a few other swimmers kind of made our own slower lane next to that lane and the families/general swimmers stayed over to the other side...It wasn't as busy as I had feared it would be either...

I'm about 28 weeks pregnant so not of whale like size just yet though there were times when I was a little nervous that the bump was going to get a kick...I would recommend that if you can make it then go for a session where the whole pool is dedicated to lane swimmers and then you can opt for the slow/middle lane...

I'm going to try one of the evening lane swims this week but sure the best time to get a peaceful swim would be in the mddle of the day as it will be less busy - so if you're already off on maternity leave then that could be the best option..

Oh and the pool temperature was fine - I'm a wimp when it comes to cold pools and it wasn't exactly like getting into a warm bath but I dind't think it was any colder than the main pool at peckham and once I'd started swimming it was plenty warm enough (still not sure I'd take my toddler though - a bit too cool to be standing around!)

    • Simply, give us a snap election now as the last 12 months in office honestly have not been great in any sense. Let someone else have a go at turning around UK plc before it's too late. At least the last administration had the inflation and unemployment going in the right direction at the END. 
    • Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse. 
    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.
