Swimming in London, UK?

Jonas · February 5, 2009, 9:42am

I´ll be in London between March 2-11.
Are there any tri teams, masters squads or other group of swimmers that I could join for workouts?

In general, what are my options for pool time?

Also, I´m interested in joing any and all running through London and its parks!

Thanks
Jonas

Have heard there is a good pool in London called ‘crystal palace’ or something.

There are a few good outdoor pools in London also, but you would need to be from Scandinavia to appreciate them.

here is one London pool:

London’s a big place with lots of pools, and tri clubs… all depends where you’re staying.

You can find a listing of pools through here.

Hi Jonas,

You can hit up the workouts headed up by Dan Bullock of SwimForTri.com. Visit their site. Their workouts are great!

Also don’t forget Hyde Park. Now THERE is a great place to run.

Otherwise, along the river in the Docklands area is great too. From Greenwich to Canary Wharf.

Cheers,
Arthur
