Crystal Palace NSC - pool

[bobbsy]

Hello all,

I wondered if there is anyone else on here that feels the same way I do about Crystal Palace NSC 50m pool.

I love the facility and using the 50m pool. However the opening times for public swimming are amazingly frustrating. The public swimming opening hours are:

Mon 7am to 930pm

Tue 7am to 7pm

Wed 7am to 930pm

Thu 7am to 830pm

Fri 7am to 7pm

Sat 830am to 5pm

Sun 9am to 3pm.

As someone with a job, I find it impossible to get a swim session before work with a 7am opening time. In the evenings I cannot do anything other than Mon or Wed evenings. I have asked repeatedly if they would extend their opening hours. I am sure doing so would increase patronage as I don't think I am the only person that feels frustrated with these opening times, particularly as the Gym facilities open at 630am each weekday.

By comparison, the London Aquatic Centre (also run by Better) is open from 6am to 1030pm 7 days a week.

Looking for some support in petitioning for extended opening hours!

Thanks.
