Ann Griffin, who is a member of the KLPA, added: “I have swum at the Kenwood Ladies’ Pond for over 20 years, and through the winter for four. It has been a fundamental part of my health and wellbeing. In the last year the new charging and booking arrangements have made this so difficult for me due to health and financial reasons. " She said she had had to "depend on the financial help of others to be able to swim there at all, and cannot imagine how I will be able to continue to do so". Ann added she felt the addition of a financial barrier to swimming at the ponds had disrupted the "inclusive community" there.
