Pool with a "beach" or flumes/slides

[Fuschia]

What's the closest one?

Hi, Fuschia, Bromley (next to the glades car park} has a really good pool with flumes and a wave machine also has a walk in shallow end which is good for toddlers.

Latchmere leisure centre in battersea has a pool with "beach", wave machine and small elephant slide for little ones

Last time I went, the flumes at Bromley were closed (and the parking was a nightmare)

Depford wavelengths has a 'beach' (shallow walk in), waves and a little slide, it does have flumes but I've never seen them open!

[Fuschia]

DEptford doesn't have dedicated parking though it is nice... will check out the others

[mrs.lotte]

No it doesnt but there is pay and display in the adjacent road; never had a problem getting a space

Bit of a killer with 21m old twins though... I don't like walking without the buggy and getting the buggy out of the car etc is a hassle.. so the shorter the distance from car to pool, the better!

There's also a soft play upstairs and a good cafe. Xx

Latchmere is good for the 'beach' and waves machine (although I have been a few times and only seem the waves once), the only issue is that the water is pretty cold and it feels quite chilly there if you are just sitting or standiong in one place watching your toddler. Or maybe I have just got used to the nice warm water at peckham pulse...

Wavelengths in Deptford has a "beach" end, waves a slide and a "jacuzzi" pool. It also has cafe-type seating by the pool

I thought the pay and display at Wavelengths was right next to the building ?

Well it was last time I looked - admittedly couple years ago !

intexas..... parking by wavelengths has been closed. I think you now need to park just the other side of the road.

Latchmere has a dedicate car park

Regularly take my little ones to Bromley pavillion where there are the Glades car park or the civic centre one and you can cross via the bridge. Shallow walk-in to the pool that is good for toddlers, water fountains, wave machine and small slide (flumes do open too for older kids) and there is also a little pool if yours don't like the waves you can pop in there when they come on). The water is warm and there are good family changing rooms.

the Bromley pool was being completely over hauled the weekend before Christmas- now water in it and scaffolding- so check before you leave .

I have just tried to find out 'family swim with toddlers' timetable at the wavelenghts in deptford and it is the worst website i have seen for ages. no practical info at all. Does anyone know when is best to take a toddler there tomorrow or on Sunday? many thanks
