The South London Swimming Club is a members’ club, run by volunteers. It works closely with Wandsworth Council and Places for People who run and manage Tooting Bec Lido to ensure that the pool remains a viable and valued resource within, and for, the community.
We ask ALL members to volunteer in whatever way they can. Being an SLSC volunteer is a great way to meet new people, put names to faces you see at the Lido and generally have a lot of fun. Everyone’s got a skill to share so we’d love to hear from you.
If you’d like to find out more about getting involved in the SLSC come to the Sunday morning races (9.30 every Sunday followed by coffee, cake and chat) or send us an email: volunteer@slsc.org.uk
