If you are vacation, I also highly recommend something different and swimming at Hyde Park - the Serpentine! Not sure if these links show up properly, but you can go to the Royal Parks website - Hyde Park - Sports & Leisure, and eventually get to the public swimming. This site tells you dates open, hours, and price. It's fun. They have a section you can swim laps. Very long laps. I think I did one and said that was plenty enough and checked it off my box, then joined my girls and chased the ducks. There is also some club that swims on Saturday mornings, 8am (not for me!)!
I thought I did a tripadvisor review of it, but maybe not. The other link is a review of the place we stayed and I made reference to it, along with other information on how far it was, tube stop, etc.
