Public pools & Water park in South Croydon

“This is an absolutely fabulous park in Norwood. There are beautiful open spaces to walk your dog and lovely paths under trees. There is a huge lake which is home to many birds and wildlife. Very relaxing part of London. Can’t recommend enough to spend some time walking here and it is surprisingly quiet.”

“Used for a 8yr old kids birthday with the footie dude, Ben Judge. What a legend he was! Super friendly and attentive and inclusive to the kiddies. Really made the day special. Rest of the venue is clean and lots of parking and easy to find. Recommended.”

“I think the classes are really good. All the coaches are very professional and very dynamic. I absolutely love the spin classes. I have been to many other providers in London and these spin classes are the best in my opinion. I like that the atmosphere is so supportive between members too, it just feels good to be in those classes. Maybe the gym area is a bit small, I do not use the changing rooms as I live nearby. I am yet to go to the swimming pool.”

“My children have been learning to swim with Aqua Skills for the last five years and I wouldn’t use any other swim school. They’ve had group lessons, 1:1 and 1:2 lessons and the standard of teaching is excellent. All of the instructors are friendly, patient and committed to securing progress. Unlike other swim schools in the area, group lessons are small and for beginner groups the instructors and their assistants are in the water. In our experience Aqua skills have also been brilliant at helping children to build confidence in the water and overcome any anxieties about certain addicts of learning to swim. The owners are also present at sessions and teaching sometimes themselves. They’re thoroughly lovely people and fantastic at what they do.”

“Selsdon Nature Reserve is a wonderful place to walk the dogs. There many loads of different tracks around the woods and fields, easy to get lost but just keep walking and you will eventually find your way back to the car. There are various entry points, I prefer using the car park which can get full but you can then park on the road. Mostly dry over the summer months, winter it can get very muddy, all part of the fun they tell me…..”

“We love our swimming lessons with aquatots! The progress our daughter has made since beginning at 10 weeks has been incredible and every lesson is so much fun! We have the confidence to take our daughter swimming knowing that she is safe and love seeing her confidence grow too!”
