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.

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 used to be a member (some time ago when the new first pool opened) but I stopped going, the pool was great but the changing room were very mucky, and you get the feeling that the the school girls had run riot in there before the members came in in the evening... full of hair and generally grimy... the pulse seemed cleaner to me... and cheaper so I gave up my membership
I have my gripes with Jags but the pool is very good. The changing rooms and showers are satisfactory. Adult lanes is between 8pm and 9.30pm, so not that long really. You can also go first thing in the morning. I don't think the lifeguards enforce the lane rules. Quite often you will get very slow swimmers poodling along in the fast lane. In summary though it's all pretty good and the only reason I retain my Jags membership.

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?

Jags pool is very nice. At half term and school hols it is often very quiet. I like the ease of use. My only gripe is that during times of kids swimming lessons children leave all their gear in the cubicles in the ladies changing room ,rather than lockers,which is extremely annoying for other users. I joined mainly for the swimming.

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.

    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    • It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard!
