Does anyone know if the swimming pool water is now heated again?


There was a fault, and last week it was cold (and the week before the pool was closed due to the fault).


I tried phoning but nobody answered.


ETA: Got through. The water is still cold. They are waiting for a part from abroad so goodness knows when it will be warm again 😭

The pool and the centre in general would benefit from a rethink on temperature. It’s very often too warm - water, poolside and entrance area - which means wasted energy, wasted money and more emissions. I agree that cooler pool water is likely uncomfortable but does it really need to be 28°C? I’d say not.

Just FYI Cllr King raised the issue of the Dulwich pool, showers, water temperature etc in yesterday’s audit and standards committee meeting in the context of discussing the insourcing and ensuring standards continue to be met in the remaining period before exit in June. The council officer in charge undertook to go away and look specifically at the issues around the pool.
I doubt that it is “very cold”. I expect it’s chilly but that the body very quickly heats up due to towelling and drying naturally. Overheated spaces abound in the UK; many are in properties owned or managed by public bodies. Fancy that! I don’t downplay the inconvenience or even the potential danger to a small number of individuals in theory, but it’s not healthy, economically sound or environmentally friendly to demand 27°C, pool water and similarly warm changing spaces, especially at a time like now.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
