Isn't there a (very dark) multi-use sports hall below the pool.
Brixton Rec pool to close for repairs (again!)

I'm not an expert but I always thought that the pool not being on the ground floor would be a problem. It must weigh 300 tons plus.
Anyway, can someone tell me where is a good alternative?

Clapham or Streatham. I've never been to Streatham Rec, but was seriously unimpressed the one time I went to the Clapham one (the last time Brixton pool closed). It was filthy, and the pool's not half as nice as the one in Brixton. Plus you have to go to Clapham. 
Not very helpful -- sorry.

I probably weighs a good bit more than that, I'd have thought.

Some friends of mine used to go to Clapham Manor pool with school & named it "Shit Pool" which kind of stuck.
The pool itself isn't all that bad, but the changing rooms/showers are rife with clumps of hair, used Elastoplast, babies' nappies, plus the odd turd. 
Latchmere Pool in Battersea is good & pobably no further than Peckham Pulse or Queen Mother in Pimlico. Balham pool used to be good but it's a while since I've been.

Streatham Leisure Centre
"Built in 1934 the Centre’s features four original beautiful colour glass skylight windows on display above the 30m swimming pool.
The centre is 200 yards from Streatham rail station and 1,000 yards from Streatham Common."
sounds rather lovely...
(I've only been to Clapham pool once, don't recall much, vague memory of darkness & cold
)

Is it actually on a raised floor? (No ground floor in the states.)
The floor must be bloody thick. I suppose from what I have heard about Las Vegas it probably is.
Still with the cash the casinos earn then can build follies till the cows...have put the kettle on.

On a bit of break...
I'm sure I heard something on either the World Service or Radio 4 about this place...each area is like a tableau of a different city...Venice; canals. London;fog, probably. It sounded really weird and sort of Disney whelps ersatz Monte Carlo.

Perhaps the promoters of one of the new super-casinos in the UK should join forces with the "Reclaim the Effra" brigade and make an offer to Lambeth that they can't refuse for redevelopment of the Rec....
