Facility Notes
There is a smaller children/learners' pool separate from the main pool. The pool is open until 21:30, Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, with adult-only sessions the last 90 minutes on Tuesday and Thursday nights.
Facility Reviews
A popular pool that can get hectic. At least one section is usually laned for lengths, if two they're "slow" and "fast" but not well enforced. A third lane is added Tues. and Thurs. eves when "front crawl" is rigorously enforced, even if empty. Staff is often slow in roping off a new lane when a club/learners take over an existing lane. The changing rooms were refurbished in '02/03; a great improvement, but already showing wear. The men's showers are often erratic (slow rather than cold).
A well used pool with, lane for lane, a seemingly somewhat slower cohort of swimmers than at the nearby Putney facility. On weekdays, the pool is generally laid out for lane (lap) swimming until 9 AM, at lunchtime, and again in the evenings. Similar arrangements are usually in place on Saturday and Sunday mornings and on Sunday evenings. Before going, check the current week's timetable on the facility's website.

I used to use the pool a lot. The changing rooms were really filthy and there was lots of dirt in the water. I went back recently and it was worse.

The locker rooms were refurbished earlier this year, so they are now in a rather better state than the previous review would suggest.
