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.

    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
