Charlton Lido and Lifestyle Club - (Near , UK)

5 /5 Kay Pitu: Honestly a lot better than expected! The life guards did a splendid job all day. The Italian lifeguard was super friendly and saved a girl today.. the whole team was super organised, efficient and professional. The receptionist was nice and welcoming. Facilities where very very clean the pool too. I have absolutely nothing to say.. maulybe just the lack of umbrellas by the sun bathing area on the members area.. it would be nice to have it but I guess could be seen as a hazard with no stafg assigned to that area.. but then again put a warning up to close them if windy or be fined.. I booked for 3 hrs at the sunbathing area for £30 from 10-1 and ended up staying a bit longer but the security guard was very nice and professional and because either was not too busy he didnt keep me out straight away.

5 /5 Ian Warner: Couldn’t imagine a better place to get both the sun and swim at the same time. Walk through reception where I’ll receive my cold beverage to aid me in my swim and during the summer sitting on the side waiting for the ice cream truck to deliver my ice cream. If I want to go enjoy a bit of a quieter environment I’d book for the Sun terrace where you can be away from the pool and enjoy a lovely sun lounge!

4 /5 Sam Acton: I came here today due to the warm weather and suitable for outdoor swimming, otherwise I wouldn’t visit if temperatures were below 25c as the pool doesn’t feel heated at all. The cost for a child at £5.50 is very good value but £11.50 for an adult is overpriced. I don’t understand why adults always have to pay twice the amount when we go to do the same thing! I did not enter the pool and let my son swim for the hour due to skin allergies. he is also a strong swimmer but an adult must accompany him as he is 7 years old. I would advise maybe lowering the cost of an adult ticket and maybe for those parents who won’t be using the pool to charge a small fee. Overall though the place is kept clean with lots of cubicles and showers. The staff at the front was overwhelmed there for more staff needs to be available as families were not entering on time for their time slots, there is also someone who comes round asking you to show your time slots which was not the easiest when you are trying to sunbathe! To police this better I would suggest that at every hour you have everyone leave the pool, and then the next lot of customers can enter. Some families weren’t leaving and it can become overcrowded.

1 /5 Harry Keam: Booked to go for a swim on Sunday, paid £11.50 for an hour which is very overpriced for the facilities available. They also had a security guard/bouncer patrolling the pool who was waking sunbathers up and asking them to leave after their 50 minute slot had expired. He would stand next to you whilst you folder your towel up and was hurrying mothers and babies up - awful behaviour.
