Hi Forum. I've just discovered that the Friday evening rafts and rascals session at The East Dulwich pool has been removed. It was a great session as the 6pm -7pm is just a bit too late for my five year old. I think it is a real shame, but Imsuppise they have their reasons.


However I still want to take my daughter swimming at least once a week after school (we are usually out and about at the weekends.) does anyone know any good after school sessions? I can't find any as, quite reasonably, the pools are booked out with swim school.

Forest hill (big pool)

It always frustrated me that so few after school open sessions are available - I did write to fusion once about the bridge leisure centre small pool and they changed their timetable to put back a suitable cession, but swim school is obviously lucrative as now takes up every available slot


There is always JAGS

Not cheap though


Manageable if it's just one parent signing up and you do go at least once a week

I'm going to send an email. However I think a group email from a group of people might have more force. Please reply on this thread and PM me if you want to be included. I will write it and share it before sending, and also agree who to cc in.


I may be being naive, but I'm sure that if we do demonstrate to them that the session has support, then they will have a good incentive to put it back on, and probably will.

    • I was woken around midnight the other night as a Lime man tried to untangle a heap of three bikes someone had piled on my driveway. They block the pavements and people knock them over in frustration. I wrote to Lime and told them that in future any bikes left near my property would be securely stored away for collection at a mutually convenient time for both parties. I confiscated one at the weekend but a man knocked on our door looking to rent it while I was at work and my son gave it to him! I told Lime it's not fair of them to push the problem on to the local collection depots, they create the problem by allowing users to dump the things wherever they like. If they were penalized for doing so that would put an end to it.

That’s why I’m asking you to support our emergency Crowdfunder: 👉https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-sdcas  Even a small donation, or sharing this with your friends and family, will make a huge difference in helping us to reach our £70,000 goal and keep SDCAS open.

    • The address is: Bradbury Oak House, 4 Underhill Road, SE22 0AH
    • "2.2.1 The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has undertaken a comprehensive consultation process with its residents and stakeholders regarding the proposed development which aims to create 41 additional units and has been designed to address the growing demand for accessible and supportive accommodation for individuals with visual impairments. 2.2.2 The consultation process has been a key part of the planning phase, ensuring that the needs and preferences of current residents are taken into account. RNIB has held several meetings, workshops, and surveys to gather feedback on the design, facilities, and overall impact of the new development. Residents have been encouraged to share their views on various aspects, including accessibility features, communal spaces, and the integration of the new blocks with the existing infrastructure which has directly informed the proposals. 2.2.3 The Applicant also engaged with the local MP, Helen Hayes, and a couple of local councillors at the behest of RNIB tenants to provide new homes to promote independent living for its Blind and Partially Sighted residents"     Seems like a very sensible and necessary proposal to me.
