Hampstead Men’s Pond Association have generously agreed to welcome women to swim at the Men’s Pond between 8am – 11am during all four days of closure at the Ladies’ Pond next week (26 – 29th June).
Please do not turn up before 8am – the men would like to have privacy for the first hour of the day.
Over 60s are welcome to swim free between 8am – 9.30 am as usual and wristband holders welcome to swim till 10.45am. Women need to vacate the Men’s pond by 11am.
There will need to be compromise and consideration from all swimmers during the four mornings. Gazebos will be put up in the changing area to give women some privacy, but we would ask that everyone please be respectful and patient as the Men’s Pond may be crowded and there are likely to be queues.
