Why would you want a chlorine free swimming pool? It would surely be full of germs from other swimmers - including germs from people's bums.

I don't live in London but round here, the local council pool has aquanatal sessions once a week.

My virgin active gym in the city by bank has an oxygenated pool if that's any help!

Kit the oxygen cleans the water the same was chlorine does but without the smell which I think is what the op is after!

Oxygen cleans water?? Water is partially made up of oxygen. How does that work? All pools have oxygen in them, that's what the O in H2O stands for.

I've swum in ozone cleaned pools before. They bleach much worse than chlorine, but on the other hand, your eyes don't hurt as much.

Didn't claim to be a pool expert and I attended school so am perfectly aware of what H2O stands for thanks.

Just nice to be able to swim at lunch and go back to the office not stinking of chlorine so I'm not that concerned about the science behind it.

Op I hope you find what you need.

Hi - there are quite a few chlorine free pools in London that use Poolsan instead of chlorine, ozone, salt chlorine, etc. Poolsan is a liquid that contains ions to kill the bacteria. I know the zero-chlorine pool Hilton Metropole have baby swim sessions - not sure if they do pregnant mums too. Or you could try Market Sports Health Club - they may do a mums' session. Or Topnotch Health Clubs - several of their sites use Poolsan too. There are several hotel health clubs that use also Poolsan - I know the Landmark Hotel on Marylebone Road, The Connaught and Le Meridien on Piccadilly offer spa treatments for mums to be and they may do classes in their chlorine free pools. Hope that helps
