Baby swimming Wimbledon

Hey, Wombles

Does anybody understand of any beautiful clean swimming pools for little ones in or around Wimbledon? Im a member of Nuffield wellness, but have actually constantly discovered their pool rather not as much as delightful, and do not actually enjoy the outlook of dunking DS (almost four months) on it. And it's not especially ready for infants anyway. Is there whatever else neighborhood, except that the big main health clubs that I'm sure about?

TIA

I'ven't been consistently, but have you tried the municipal pool? From the Broadway? It constantly seemed really good/clean whenever I performed go.

Thanks for speedy answer, BIWI! The one on Latimer Path? Performed have a look around when I ended up being looking into gyms for myself ages right back. Performed look sensibly clean, and great for solitary sessions, may consider changing from Nuffield membership.

I am a part at David Lloyd - the pool there was OK (though it's many years since I past went ), but I would personally guess it will be a little pricey gonna another club if you should be a part elsewhere!

Thank you. Indeed, perhaps not well worth having to pay membership at NH then fees in other places, but I would personally joyfully keep NH for an excellent pool. May consider DL, thanks. Could it be child-friendly, i.e. comfortable access into/out of share, good temperature for babies...

Indeed, very child/family-friendly.

There's two pools - one inside and something outside. The inside pool also offers a small-ish splash share for children.

There is certainly a different family changing space area - with big cubicles to change in, each with their own bath.

Went for a look around DL - beautiful, but £££! £150 JOINING cost?! WTF! definitely no body pays this! liked the small pool though, therefore the changing area seemed really practical. So debating whether or not to ditch Nuffield Health, and spend for DL, but will absolutely have to guarantee we go extremely regularly. And never spend that ridiculous joining fee!

Virgin Active in Southern Wimbledon is better with regards to a share for kids - and nice altering spaces for parents/babies. Water's not even chlorinated! Go but a look truth be told there, I would personally. My dc adored it.

In addition I became informed to join a gym after the month, they might waive the joining cost - they have to meet targets etc.

NoHunIntended Fri 04-Feb-11 12:24:33

Maybe not chlorinated, truly - wow, that appears great! Could it be the only by Sainsburys, or the one down North path?

And thanks re joining at the end of the thirty days tip!

Errrr. it really is off Haydon's path, set back from the main roadway. It sits next to a primary school - Garfield, could it be? Lovely gymnasium IMO.

Beautiful, thanks a lot, i am aware the one. Was also probably have a look at Esporta.

In order to update, in case someone else wants tips:

Esporta do not let young ones after all, so no-go there.

Checked-out the pool at the Virgin Active off Haydon's path - beautiful - they have a separate pool and individual changing services for families (not blended though, which is a little bit of a pain since it's easier with both moms and dads). Had been a great environment with a decent household vibe, that we aren't getting at Nuffield Health much while you only get one lane cordoned off there.
But NH nonetheless works out less expensive for me personally, and it is closer, thus I think i'm most likely following that.
