Balham Leisure Centre

More akin to a royal banqueting hall than a swimming pool, Balham Pool’s high vaulted ceilings and oodles of natural light make it a pleasant place to do a few lengths. Thoroughly modernised, and with a minimum/maximum depth of 1m/1.8m, this 25m pool is evenly split between lane and casual swims. There are a plethora of daily Aqua classes including Aqua Jog, Aqua Fit and Aqua Circuits. If the notion of physical exercise gets too exhausting, then allow your pores to breathe in the steam room and sauna.
