It's an institution, Jane, nothing like your local rec. Rooted back in the day when naked swimming in freezing cold water was good for you.

The Ladies in Charge have a bit of a downer on naked swimming - which isn't completely fair because it's practically compulsory in the men's pool.

It's a pool for rich white women. Cant bring myself to weep for them

Is there a men's only pond?

If not, why can't they just make both ponds unisex? I have limited time for the dainty old ladies who think they couldn't possibly go for a swim with transwomen or men around them.

I have been using my local mixed pool for at least four years and am still here!

They've had the training!! So the City of London corporation have been told (by the pressure groups) that they can ignore laws that allow for sex segregated spaces.
This is how the TG groups have made such progress so quickly. Funded by the government and promoting their own versions of the law and ideas - and it's being accepted as fact by employers / organisations.

I deliberately said women as I don't like lady/ladies. But yeah... Wink

They're quite old-school there. Shouldn't that be 'Ladies Bathing Pool'? Grin

Just saying that because there used to be quite a divide between those who called it the 'Women's Pond' and those in charge, who didn't.
