SLSC members will need a Places Leisure FREE membership to book to swim at Tooting Bec Lido. Join now. Once you have joined and (importantly) filled in your PROFILE page, your account will be updated (this could take a few days as it has to be done manually one by one) and you will be able to book your summer season swims for free.
When the Lido is not busy you can simply tap in with your SLSC card at reception. On sunny days the Lido very quickly fills to capacity, so please book to ensure a place in a session. You do not need to book in winter, October to April.
