Swimming at Dulwich –
come on in, the water is lovely!
If you have not already enjoyed a swim at Dulwich
then what are you waiting for? Since September
2010 when we reopened the pool, we have had such
encouraging feedback from parents, teachers and
children about the beautifully restored pool, change
reception and café areas.
At certain times of the day the pool is a tranquil place
to swim, just see above how inviting it looks. Our
level decked 25 metre pool is ideal if you are taking
your first lesson or are a serious lane swimmer.
There is something going on for all ages in the
centre; whether you are starting out, improving your
stroke with ASA swimming lessons or trying a new
class like Zumba or Hatha Yoga. Ask for a
programme to see what exercise suits your level of
fitness.
This is a swimming pool for everyone in the local
community to be proud of, so come on in and join us!
Starbucks® coffee for £1*
Arrange to meet your friends, relax after your fitness session, or grab
five minutes to yourself after dropping your little one into the crèche.
At the Dulwich café during May and June you can enjoy a
Starbucks coffee for just £1.
Hello from Carlos
Most of you will recognise
my face as I have been the
wetside operations manager
since the pool reopened last
September.
I’ve worked for most of Southwark’s leisure centres
during my 18 year career in the industry. I originally
started out as football coach at Elephant and Castle,
was a life guard at Dulwich before moving onto the
Peckham centre (before it became the Pulse!). I was
at Seven Islands in a duty manager role before
returning to this beautifully restored building.
The centre is coming to the end of an enormous
refurbishment programme which promises to be an
amazing transformation, (see over for new fitness
sessions and for what’s coming up in the next few
months).
At Dulwich we are always keen to hear new ideas and
feedback, so the next time you see me, or any other
staff, walking around the centre come up and say
hello.
Remember, our new café is open to everyone whether
you are using the facilities or not, drop in for coffee
with friends!
I hope to see you soon!

Spring 2011
in partnership with

Gym news
We really want to thank all our customers for being so understanding
throughout the refurbishment period. Now we can see the end in
sight and we are all very excited about the new 100 plus station
gym to be completed by the end of June.
If you would like to try
out the style of Life
Fitness gym
equipment coming to
Dulwich then please
visit Peckham Pulse
or Brockwell Lido
(your membership
card is valid at
Brockwell Lido until
the completion of the
refurbishment).
In the meantime we have a new studio timetable, so in addition to yoga; Pilates; legs, bums and tums; aerobics;
Silver gym (dedicated sessions for over 60s), and many more classes we have added the latest fitness trend –
Zumba – which takes place on Saturdays from 11am to 12 noon. It is proving to be a popular class so ensure that
you book early to avoid disappointment.
Anything more to add? Well actually yes there is! As we enter the final stage of the gym refurbishment, in the
original part of the centre we are preparing the first floor with multi-purpose rooms to provide additional wellbeing
services for the community. A spin class programme is also being planned so please keep an eye on the centre
notice board for developments.

Swimfit – a great start to your new

Do you enjoy swimming and want to diversify your fitness
training? Swimfit is an initiative from the Amateur Swimming
Association (ASA) to make swimming more exciting. The
sessions provide swimmers with a progressive gym programme
style training cards for all abilities. Think of it as an aerobics
work out in the pool.
Swimfit is included in your Choice membership and is available
to all swimmers. It’s aimed at 16 year olds and above but we’re
happy for all to give it a go! There is currently one session a
week which will increase with demand.
Ask Janet, the lifeguards, or any other member of staff to talk
you through a typical Swimfit session, and consider using the
cards if you want to add a little more challenge to your usual dip.
