Its a great offer and am so glad it has been extended. The only downside is that they have dramatically reduced the no. of pools offering this (atleast in London)...but now you can swim any day of the week from mon to fri instead of just monday! :j

I agree, the four star hotel that used to participate on this offer is no longer. Great to find a way to swim in London for such a bargain price, usually costs £3-4 to swim at a local pool.

This water is 42p in ASDA but it's in the fridges by the Kiosk not on the main shelves.

I am lucky in that another 5 star hotel has joined in near me but when I rang them just now they claimed you could only ever go swimming there for free once! I've rang the Schweppes customer service line who are going to ring the hotel and tell them I can go as many times as I like!

I've got a gym near me that is participating, they said that I can go as many times as I like!

Don't speak too soon. I just went down to Nuffield St. Coram's Fields which is shown as having free swimming Monday to Friday on the website, all day long. They refused me entry, saying that it's only on Fridays. My protests came to nothing. :mad:

Sorry about the late reply, for that kind of thing, you must report it to the website hosting the bad data, otherwise others will be mislead. Just email them and the first thing you say after greeting should be "PLEASE PASS THIS TO THE WEBSITE MAINTENANCE TEAM". That usually works (although some idiots at O2 insisted that a certain link was on their site when it wasn't if they'd bothered looking, the abject drones).
