1 / 2Hatch End Swimming Pool
📍 Pinner, Greater London
Community swimming pool offering Swim England-framework lessons for ages 4 months and above, with four lanes, seniors sessions, aqua aerobics, hoist access, and accessible changing rooms.
The swimming pool is very small and usually overcrowded, which often makes the experience uncomfortable. The only real positive is the teachers – they are excellent and clearly the best in the area. However, today’s experience in the ladies’ changing room was unacceptable. A woman was lying on the floor and praying in the middle of a shared changing area, which directly disturbed other people trying to change and use the facilities. I respect all religions and personal beliefs, but this was intrusive and inappropriate in a communal space. A changing room is not the right place for religious practices, and it should not interfere with or make others feel
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Families committed to the swim lesson programme — particularly for babies and young children — will find the teaching quality strong enough to justify the facility shortcomings. Classes are the primary draw. General lane swimming is uncomfortable when lessons are running simultaneously due to the pool size.
