Does anyone know of any local pools that have a more relaxed adult/child ratio policy than 1:1?

Our 3 are 6, 3 and baby and we'd like to be able to take them swimming without having to rope in another adult.

What about the jelly babies sessions at Peckham or the small pool at beckenham? Both older children would be able to touch the floor so surely we'd be ok there with just 2 adults?

Or happy to pay to join a private health club which are usually less strict but don't know of any locally?

Thanks

Crystal Palace sports centre are more relaxed, I can take my two (3 and 4.5) by myself. They have a couple of teaching pools which are ideal, as the older kids can touch the bottom. I think Beckenham Spa will be OK with 3 kids and 2 adults, as long as the older children are 3 and above.

Hi,


Latchmere leisure centre in battersea allows a ratio of 1 adult to 3 children, as it's a beach entry pool. It also has a little water slide for the kids to play on and a wave machine at the weekends and school holidays. It's about 20 mins drive and has parking.

Thanks all. I thought the bridge were strict, sure a friend told me they weren't let in there with 3 children. I'll call and ask.

Did email dulwich college sports club once to ask about joining and had no reply. Do you have contact details?


Will try Cp and battersea!

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
