Today brought good news for Charlton Lido swimmers with the announcement that the current opening times will be extended through November. In previous years the timetable has been cut back in winter with the heated pool closed on some weekdays. The centre was one of the first to reopen after lockdown and has been busy since with swimmers taking the opportunity to exercise outdoors.
**Winter Timetable Update**
We are excited to inform you all we have extended the current opening times throughout November as well, for the first time!
This means you can swim 06.30-20.30 weekdays and 09.00-17.00 at weekends!#JustKeepSwimming

The pool opening times are:
- Monday-Friday: 6.30am to 8.30pm
- Saturday-Sunday: 9am to 5pm
Advanced booking is necessary, through the website or Better app.
Swim Doctor returns
We’ve also learnt that the centre’s popular Swim Doctor sessions will restart in November – a chance for adults to improve their swimming technique and fitness. Booking opens October 28th via the app or website, with the first sessions starting Tuesday 3rd November at 9:30am, then Friday 7am & Saturday 11am. Spaces will be limited and must be pre-booked.
In other lido news, the pool covers were recently replaced, which has – in this writer’s experience at least – improved the average water temperature, particularly in the mornings.
