Forest Hill Pools,

Dartmouth Road, London SE23 3HZ

"I like it when I go swimming there It's very relaxing but it would be a five but the changing rooms are not that good."

"Staff friendly but likely under resourced/funded. Decent variety of gym equipment but mostly aging/rusty/clunky. Women’s showers out of order for months and swimming pool showers absolutely filthy pretty much every time."

"A first experience was terrible; website is minimal and doesn’t explain much at all. The session finished earlier than scheduled, the pool length (the reason I went) was reduced, staff say one thing at reception and another poolside (and poolside are quite rude). Changing rooms are chaos (packed). When I explained website inaccuracy, I was met with s shrug. You have to join some kind of membership just for a one-off swim……won’t be returning"

"Big fan of our local pools and gym.. both my kids learned to swim here and we are happy to continue supporting by way of membership. So far so good with the new management Better Health."

"Took the children swimming here today and was slightly surprised how things had improved a little bit. I hadn’t been here for a while, in the days when it was awful! However, today was almost organised for a change and even all the hairdryers worked! Shock!!! We booked a swimming session on the app (which is a complete nightmare btw. Keeps crashing!) On arrival we was told we was a bit early but could go get changed and wait by the pool for our time slot. The changing rooms were tidy but the floor needed a good clean. Unfortunately for us the changing cubicle we went in couldn’t lock as the handle had been snapped off, so I had to lean on the door as I was getting changed! (It was the cubicle opposite locker 150). The pool itself was clean and all the children had lots of fun which is the main thing. The only thing I would add is the showers was quite hot and my son had to quickly jump out of it! Overall though we will probably return as now we know what cubicle and showers to avoid!"
