Hi Susie, the swimming pool is used for children's swimming lessons at the weekend. Here is the the info we have on that.

A few years ago I asked whether they did classes/sessions for adults and was told they didn't. Shame.

It's too small for adults. It really is just a kid's pool. It's about the same size as the kid's pool at Crouch End, and twice as warm.

Nothing that local - I've used Park Road in Crouch End N8, and the one Highbury and Islington corner N1.

Tottenham Green is our nearest pool, and perfectly clean and presentable. In fact the changing rooms, while hardly health spa quality, easily outshine the changing rooms at Crouch End, which were so abysmal they nearly put me off the place for good. Not sure how good it is for intense, lone lane-swimming though.

Clissold Leisure Centre down off Church St is v nice.

Clissold Park is brilliant for lane swimming because it's got 2 full-size pools - one of which is solely dedicated to lane swimming. The other is a training pool (starts at chest deep) which is great for taking slightly older kids. The changing rooms and facilities are also excellent. Unlike Park Road, the showers actually work. Oh, and the staff are far more pleasant too. I haven't been back to Park Road since.

Any pool at Clissold for younger kids Bushy?
Paulie, don't know when you last went to Park Rd but their changing rooms have had a make over [ :) ] and are now excellent, with many family cubicles available. Changing rooms at Tottenham are appalling by comparison. Their kids pool however is far superior to that over crowded box pool at Crouch End!
Need more pools for our area. Would be nice to see the Hornsey Baths come back to life but that would require a council with vision and some sort of PFI arrangement probably.

There is a real toddlers' pool but it's small, and just a splash area - hardly ankle deep in most places. But once they're in arm-bands/woggle, the training pool is perfect for getting them to do a bit of proper training.
I must say, I have been to Park Road since the make-over and found the family changing rooms far too few - they are always occupied (there only seem to be 2 or 3 in the men's) and the single cubicles are so tiny and dark, I struggle to get my 4-year old and me changed in them. And once they've moved on from the toddlers' pool, you don't really get much room to swim because they 'lane off' 90% of the pool. I haven't been back to Park Road since we discovered how good Clissold was. Oh, and Clissold is free for kids too (not sure if Park Road is).

Tottenham Green has fun and wave sessions at weekends and school/bank holidays from 1pm to 3pm and 3.15pm to 5.15pm, which are really good fun for both adults and children.
On completion of an application form, swimming for children and over 60s is free in both Tottenham Green and Park Road. See website
The Marcus Garvey library is also in the Tottenham Green Leisure complex.
