The swimming pool at the Bromley Pavillion Leisure Centre has a couple of flumes and a wave machine.0

Fantaseas. The famous sinking swimming pool. RIP1

Remember when they first installed the flumes at the old Crook Log. One of them was particularly vicious and resulted in several people breaking arms.
You used to have to buy tokens for a slide. We used to stay in the splash pool and wait for the ladies to be unceremoniously dumped out of the flume and into the pool, resulting in the odd swimming attire malfunction.
Remember one of my mates stopping himself halfway down. I can still see him sitting there screaming out Aha dangerous Brothers ( yep that dates me) as we all piled into him. The resulting tsunami in the pool got us all kicked our and banned.
As for nowadays, Cascades in Thong Lane has a wave machine and two flumes, one is how I imagine it must be like to be flushed down the loo!0 -

Who remembers Water Palace at Purley way? Place was a death trap but loved it as a kid. Health and safety shut it down in the end.0

Yep, I remember getting thrown out of there on a school trip once.

Havent been to White Oaks for yonks so dont know if it has changed but it was the stuff of legends when i was a kid.
3 flumes of varying speed and descent, the shark shocker, completely black inside and out and fast and steep, the whale whirler a fair bit slower but still good and then the dolphin for the girls/ palace flume aficianado.
Also had a wave machine and 3 diving boards of varying height....remember my then 7 yr old brother catastrophically failing a backflip off the top one and landing on his back with an almighty crash. He was still shivering when he made it over to me in the gallery and his back was the colour of a baboon's arse. Almost put me off my chips.

If your looking for a wedgie go for the shark shocker , it nearly rips your shorts off.... So I'm told!Havent been to White Oaks for yonks so dont know if it has changed but it was the stuff of legends when i was a kid.

The two flumes at Crook Log (or Splashworld as it was known at the time) was the Sidewinder and the Vortex :-)

This one is by far the best we have visited.

Two water chutes (one with a round and round think that drops you in head first), waves, and a proper fitness pool.
On a Saturday morning the have a 30 metre long inflatable thing in the fitness pool also (think along the lines of "It's a Knockout").

Wavelengths in Deptford has all of that and is cheap! Ladywell leisure centre has flumes as well but I wouldn't go there!0 -
half hour or so away but Larkfield pool has lazy river, waves & flumes. Worth a go (down the M20).0

Swanley was great,didnt matter how long your swim shorts were they were up your arse after the shark shocker.First top board experience there as well when I had a look over the edge and my mate put his foot between my shoulder blades. I was warm for about a week!0

No flume (hopefully) but the first Sky Pool now in position and should be ready for the summer in Vauxhall. Amazing
