Newbies - Swimming lessons and gym

[Cat F]

Hi all,

We are moving to the area and wondered if anyone had any recommendations of nice pools to do swimming lessons with the kids and possibly a gym for the parents?

Thanks in advance!

The swimming lessons at JAGS Sportsclub are very popular, and the gym there might meet your needs. Southwark took over running its leisure centres from everyone active a while back and so far seems to be making a real mess of things. There’s lots of private gyms and other council ones in Lewisham and Lambeth so depending on exactly where you’re going to be you can look at those. JAGS and Dulwich College both have sports clubs with nice facilities, but you can’t use them during the school day. Check their sites for details.
