I've lived in this area as a single woman for 5 years. I love it and I frequently go to the park alone, the cafe is a great place to mooch and eat on your own without any hassle. The Rye Hotel is a great pub. I've got the cheapness of living in Peckham but all the amenities of Lordship lane a stone's throw away and Peckham Rye park and common are just as nice as other parks in the area, rather a hidden gem. Enjoy

What I'd really like is a trial swim, I'll ask for one, but am not hopeful judging by the comments I've seen about Jags so far.

Thanks, I'm swaying towards joining.... But still no one's said anything about the chlorine levels. Am I the only person who finds the chlorine irritates my throat? Crystal palace isn't an option for me. I need somewhere close and convenient and I don't own a car. But I've heard very good things about the swimming lessons there.

Thanks for that information. Have you ever tried going when the pool has other things going on and a lane set aside? Which seems to be quite a lot of the time according to the timetable eg between 5 and 8pm and most of the day at the weekend. Also, has anyone tried the Iyengar yoga classes?

What has carelessness got to do with aversion to Chlorine? Furthermore I'm not that careless, I just didn't know how to correct the typo once it had become my user name. And who cares anyway? I just want to know whether it is worth signing up to jags for a year or not. So any comments on that subject gratefully received.

I've been reading the posts about Jags sports club because I am considering taking out membership mainly because I can't handle the chlorine levels at East Dulwich and Peckham Pulse and the fact that there is a very narrow time when one can do adult lane swimming at both pools. However I'm alarmed that one has to sign up for a year. Can anyone convince me that Jags pool is worth the commitment, are the showers always hot, are the changing areas clean and spacious, is there plenty of space in the pool at 'general swim' times? All advice gratefully received. Liketoswim
