Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has tried the Waterbabies swimming lessons at Lewisham Hospital? I've heard good things about Waterbabies, but curious what the Therapy Pool is like at the hospital. Has anyone tried it? Is it nice? Clean etc.? They seem to have lots of classes there but my other half isn't keen on using the hospital pool.

Thanks!

Hello, We've been going to waterbabies at Lewisham for almost a year now. It's always been very clean and hygienic, never had any complaints from our visits.


If someone does have an 'accident' in the pool, they always let us know and cancel the class straight away. A make up class is usually offered later on.


My son loves his classes and is really a confident boy in the water at only 16months, I think taking him along from about early on, and the approach the teachers have there has really been great.


Can't recommend them enough.

Little Saff and I loved Water Babies at Lewisham hospital therapy pool. The pool is lovely and warm all year long. It's a therapy pool, so it has to be warm.


The pool was always super clean as well. The only drawback is that there isn't a lot of changing space. To save time, I wore my swim suit under my clothes to the pool. Getting dry and changed afterwards can be a bit tricky. A spare sarong is handy.


Happy swimming :)

Just to echo the general feeling, we do Aquatots which is also at Lewisham Hospital. Perfectly clean and lovely and warm, although I agree it can get a little cramped. We've known it to be closed once when there was an 'accident', but that was another swim school and nothing to do with the hospital using it. It was also closed for a couple of weeks when the boiler was broken but other than that has been great.


My mum was also a bit funny about it being a hospital pool but actually I think they would need to make sure it is hygenic because of that and probably gets checked more thoroughly than other pools (I like to think anyway!)

    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
