Daily swim

[heartblock]

I would like to swim every morning at Dulwich Leisure Centre, I used to go, but noticed that the cleaning, showers, pool were all becoming dirtier. Is it better now and can you just pay for a swim deal with them or do you have to pay for swim and gym.

Thank you for any feedback in advance.

I don't know how long ago you used to swim there but I've noticed since everyone active took over from fusion its much cleaner and never found it dirty.

can't answer 2nd question I'm afraid!

As far as I know the only options are swimming, gym and exercise classes in a bundle or swimming and gym together, no swimming only membership.

Thanks both. I?ll pop down there and join if cheap enough. Ta

Gym & swim membership for adult ?40 a month plus ?60 joining fee, which I guess if you swim every weekday works out to a very reasonable ?2 a swim!

2 quid a day..I?ll take that 😀

If you're a Southwark resident you can use it free all day Friday and afternoons Saturday and Sunday. Sometimes I swim three times a week and just pay for one day off peak (?4.40), so average ?1.47 a swim.

Over-60s get more discounts; not sure what they are but if it applies to you perhaps you can get away without a membership.

If I was a swimmer which I am not, would swim at Brockwell Lido - lovely setting and outside pool.

I love the lido, but didn?t really get on with the women?s facilities- changing area and lockers. Found it difficult for me. Also gets a bit crazy, busy in the Summer and slightly too far for a daily 20 min swim, but it is a fantastic local spot and I?m glad it?s open and thriving. Dulwich is working out fine, so thank you everyone for your comments and help.

could do worse than joining JAGS and use their pool early mornings or evenings

[Robert Poste's Child]

Wish I could afford JAGS. DLC's pool and women's changing room seemed as dirty as ever tonight - you literally couldn't put a foot on the the floor without picking up dirt, hair and other matter.

Maybe JAGs has changed, but I was a member a while back and the early mornings were very restrictive for lane swimming. It was also the same price as a place I used to go to when working at the Royal Brompton in pricey Chelsea, but at the Chelsea gym you got a towel, lovely changing rooms and could swim anytime, so I left JAGs in the end as the pool was unavailable when I could go and it didn?t offer enough for the price. I liked the pool though, so if it has changed I might try again.
