@CityCorpHeath Will ponds close from noon or all day?

High winds are forecast tomorrow (26 Jan) from 12 noon and all day Mon. As the predicted gusts will be over 40mph, Golders Hill Park & the Hill Garden will close for safety reasons. Facilities such as Ponds and play areas will also close. If anything changes, we'll update here.

@JuliaBradbury @HarrogateSpring @Harrogatebc I swiped up and accidentally activated the yes chop the woodland option ... I’m AGAINST cutting trees for plastic

So @HarrogateSpring water are planning to chop down a community woodland (that people use ) to expand their plastic bottle making plant.@Harrogatebc decide next week.Should it be YES for more plastic bottles less trees, or NO find an alternative & still create biodiversity?

@CityCorpHeath As the ladies pond has had ongoing sewage issues for the past month, would it be possible to turn the men’s into a ladies pond for a few days a week - allowing persons who normally swim at the ladies to swim at the men’s? Thanks

Ladies’ Pond remains closed today (Fri 9 Oct) while we monitor the water quality. There is a ladies only afternoon session at the Lido from 1.30pm to 4.30pm.

@CityCorpHeath If you turn up is payment by card or cash? Thanks

Ladies' Pond will reopen tomorrow (Saturday 26 September) at 7am and will be open until 4.30pm. Thanks for your patience while the pond has been closed. 🦆

@CityCorpHeath Thanks

@AngelineTourni2 We're just waiting on some further test results and we will make a decision from there.

Ladies's Pond remains closed but we have ladies only sessions at the Mixed (4.45-6.30pm) and at the Lido (1.45-6.30pm) and Men's Pond will be staying open until 6.30pm (for men only).

@CityCorpHeath Any chance we can swim in the men’s pond?

Due to a sewage leak in the vicinity, Kenwood Ladies Bathing Pond will be closed for the rest of today (Thursday 17 Sep) and tomorrow(Friday 18 Sep) while Thames Water investigate. All those with booked sessions will be given a full refund. Apologies for any inconvenience.

@CityCorpHeath Thanks! Its working !

@AngelineTourni2 Hi Angeline, if you pop an email with details of the problem to hh-swimming@cityoflondon.gov.uk I can look into it for you. It's working as far as I'm aware. I'm probably the best person to help you out at the moment, though I can give you an office number if we can't sort it out

@CityCorpHeath is the booking system working for the ponds? Tried twice this morning and it doesn’t seem to be? Do you have a helpline number I could phone? Thanks

@CityCorpHeath Are children over the age of 8 still allowed to swim in the ladies pond (with an adult) during this transitional period? Thanks you .

Some additional information regarding swimming bookings for tomorrow: there will be a third session at 10am tomorrow (Monday 13th) at the three Bathing Ponds, NOT at the Lido. We'll add more sessions as we go on. Please remember the staggered booking times previously mentioned.

We’ve had huge demand for swimming since we reopened on Saturday and our online booking system has been overwhelmed with the numbers trying to book. We’re trying to fix this and we’re trying a new method today (for Monday morning swim sessions) which should help. 1/3

@CityCorpHeath @donegal1969 Thank you

@AngelineTourni2 @donegal1969 Hi Angeline - our season ticket has been online for around a year now and will be again when things return to normal.

Our swimming facilities remain closed for now, and although frustrating, this is really important to ensure the safety of our staff and visitors. Please read this thread for more information on our plans to reopen.

@CityCorpHeath Why has the cost/session increased - as far as I remember the entry fee was £2/session before lockdown? Thanks

When we do reopen, there will be a limited number of swimming sessions and tickets available each day so the facilities don’t get too busy and so that everyone can socially distance safely. The cost of a session will be £4 or £2.40 for a concession.
