I know has probably been talked about before...and I'm rather inept at google searching, but I'd like to take baby s to swimming lessons (in the hope of exhausting him) in september...I know there are lessons for toddlers around but how about babies at 5-6 months? I've looked at waterbabies and the drive to balham early on a friday morning isn't great. There's another company called aquatots - anyone used them? There's a pool in croydon so not too far...


Do peckham/beckenham do baby lessons? Why are the websites so cryptic? I'd phone but typing with one hand is one thing, phoning with shouting baby another...


thanks..xx

We started at 4 months in Stoke Newington, then went to Crystal Palace and my daughter's now at Peckham Pulse. Crystal Palace: teaching is pretty ordinary, but it's well organised and the facilities are ok. Peckham Pulse nicer pool, better teaching, but the admin is chaos - you have to be really, really persistent, but it's worth it. therwise I'd agree Beckenham Spa is pretty good - a friend of mine goes to a place in South Norwood, can't remember name, but recommends highly. It is a bit of a slog and you do have to be pretty determined to get a place wherever and to keep going, but it's a brilliant thing to do - my daughter (now 5) has been able to swim independently was 3 and absolutely loves swimming, is learning to dive. And you're absolutely right, when she was tiny, it was the only way to guarantee a good long sleep!

    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder    
    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.

    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
