hi I know there have been several threads about swimming lessons but my question is slightly different. My 2.5 yr old ha only been swimming twice, when very young. We want to take him swimming and get him used to the water, then hopefully get some lessons later - if we can ever manage to get into any, they're always booked up with hellish queues. Which pools are good for a splash about woth out having to book? Ideally somewhere warm with a shallow bit he can stand in, or with a slope or steps to access easily.


Also what would be good to take...arm bands? Float?


When I was little we just used to turn up at our local pool for a swim... all seems so organised and busy here...


thanks

H

We have taken our baby from about 5m.. it's not super warm like Peckham but pretty good - Ok for 20 mins anyway


Mr f sat on the step holding baby for the first bit while I entertained twins


They have specific sessions, sometimes it's in use for classes


It has a lot more open sessions though than Peckham does

This might be a bit far for you but the pool in Deptford is very warm and has a large area that is shallow and where toddlers can walk. I think this area is available at all times. However on weekends and during the holidays you might need to find out what time a session starts at. when I take my duaghter swimming, during school time the pool has about 3 - 5 people floating in various parts. (I have found myself there during a holiday week and it was hellish!)

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
