West Norwood/Peckham/Streatham/Dulwich/Elephant…final call for swim location preferences
Dear swimmers,
Just wanted to check everyone had had the chance to input their preferences on where (and when) we hold our swim sessions, as there was a late addition of Elephant and Castle which you may not have seen.
We are about to make a decision so if anyone has a preference, please post it today (Monday 22).
Below is the original post, with options 1-6 laid out. If you have posted your preferences already, all good, but please repost if you have strong feelings about the new Elephant and Castle option.
***
The winter timetable will be out soon, and in preparation we are looking at different pools and times for our winter swimming after the Lido sessions end, and wanted to find out which sessions would suit you. (Don't worry, social swimming on Saturday mornings at the Lido will remain on!)
Alongside Tuesday mornings 7am session in Clapham Leisure Centre, and the Friday evening session at 8.15am at James Allen Girl's School, we are going to add a further session for the week.
The training timetable will include weekly velodrome sessions on a Tuesday evening, and spin on a Wednesday evening.
Having contacted a number of pools, these are the only slots available as there is a high demand in early mornings and the evenings.
An easy way to give you your views would be to add a comment to this post indicating 'yes' or 'no' for numbered options 1 to 5, with 'no' meaning the session is no good for you and 'yes' meaning you'll be likely to attend.
Love,
Saffron
Acting Swim Captain

3,5 and 6 are all on my route to work and I suppose would be good to extend club into Southwark where there are a lot of potential new members
Only slight issue is security of bikes outside Peckham Pulse - only two racks but in the morning it's usually ok
Pulse is actually a very good pool I use a lot - Dulwich looks smart but is smaller and usually more crowded plus I watched them kick three school girls out when it was "men only" session which I personally think is ridiculous
