If you have asthma or any other respiratory-related condition I would avoid this place as if your life depended on it — in fact, it could well do. They spray domestic aerosol air fresheners at people while they are exercising. A friend of mine, who has heart problems was ‘sprayed’ and had a severe attack of breathing problems — the staff seemed to think this was funny. Spraying domestic aerosols — Charm — in this case is not funny, and is probably against all the rules. To make it even worse — it was one of their personal trainers who did it. It has happened several times and my friend has now been told by his doctor to not return. Watch the papers on this one.

Teddington Pool is a ‘standard’ indoor pool. By that I mean there are no water slides or wave machines or sprinklers or the like. There is one large pool and one baby/teaching pool(warmer and shallow). The pool is adequate, though often has sand at the bottom, possibly from the playground next door. The dressing rooms are clean, though could do with a facelift. There is also a small gym — I’ve never used it, but you can see it from reception(there are windows) and it looks small but adequate, if that’s your thing. They run a bunch of classes, including sub-aqua and aquarobics — I’ve done the latter, and for a while did it every week after work on a Wednesday. It’s not expensive to swim here — under £4.00, and cheaper if you have a leisure card. The leisure card is worth getting if you will be using this(or any of the London Borough of Richmond’s leisure facilities) regularly. The classes also attract a discount if using a leisure card. There is a pay and display car park on site, however, you get your parking fees refunded if you are using the pool or its facilities. This is a good little local authority pool and gym. Richmond has a bigger, swisher pool — Pools in the Park — but if swimming laps or attending classes or just getting fit is your bag, this is perfectly formed.
