Hi


A quick question about Forest Hill pools please... If I want to take my baby with me, can I just go for any "General Swim" sessions? I didn't see any specific "Baby swim" sessions...


Also, is the pool warm enough for babies?


If the pool is not very warm, any other pool suggestions would be appreciated!


Thanks xx

I don't know about the small pool but the main pool is not warm enough for babies, I wouldn't think. The baby pool (Learner pool on here http://www5.fusion-lifestyle.com/centres/Forest_Hill_Pools/activity/Swimming) is very popular so worth a try. Also the baby pool at The Bridget Sydenham is shallow and warm, and the one at Beckenham Spa likewise.
We've been swimming in the main pool with our 20 month old son several times. First time was probably when he was just a over a year old. It's not as hot as the baby pool but he's always enjoyed it. There's usually plenty of other families there too when the general swim session is on. Definitely worth a shot.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
