Having started in October 1978 the club's home was the Eltham Pools, Sherrard Road, Eltham. It remained here until the Local Authority decided in their usual ill thought out designs to close the building and open a 'Modern' facility elsewhere in the area.

Although the club was involved in various meetings over an 8 year period the Local Authority decided to just do things their way and created 'The Eltham Centre' without taking into consideration the requirements of those trusted long term users of he pools.

The results are obvious, we now have a pool that is too shallow, a second pool which is unfit for any club to use and now to top things off they are looking to completely ruin the aquatic sports by imposing impossible swimming strategies within the borough.

As a club we are actively looking at relocating to another pool but for those 300 plus people who have been members of the Eltham Otters over the past 30 years I would like to present you with a few memorable pictures taken on our last evening at the old pool.

Stefan.
