I am thinking of setting up a Baby/Toddler swim school in ED and wondered what peoples thoughts are on this. I understand Peckham Pulse offer a baby swimming session and I know there are classes in Lewisham and London Bridge, but not sure if there is anything in ED.


As parents do you think there would be a demand for this or is there enough close by?


Any opinions gratefully recieved!


Many Thanks

A good usp would be to do sibling groups together -it's such a logistical nightmare to get lessons at the same time for more than 1 kid. When 1 moves up you have to completely rearrange everything or spend ages hanging about. I for one would be more than happy to get in too, especially if it meant more actual swimming for the kids rather than waiting on the side for their turn. You could have 3 or 4 families at a time and if each family had at least 1 adult in the water the teacher could circulate while the parents help their children practise what the teacher instructed.

Just a thought!

I'm keen. Been trying to get my 8 month old son onto a Saturday one and have had three false starts - one cancelled, and two without spaces after they said their would be. Getting most annoyed. Don't like taking my boy to Dulwich or Forest Hill though as the pools are not warm enough, even the junior pools.
We also went to the privately owned pool near Dulwich college and it was brilliant. Unfortunately the neighbours complained about the cars coming and going and I think the owner had to apply for a different type of licence so the lessons stopped. They had baby swimming on a couple of days and aqua tots I think on the others.

I think definitely a demand. I've spent 18 months going to lessons in Balham with my now 2 year old. The lessons locally are badly promoted so quite hard to fid out about and some at funny times for little ones.


Also I've found limited options for toddlers who are at levels 4 and 5.


Definitely worth a go but promote it well so people know about it

    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.
