My friend Bridged has a damaged ankle. She's been cycling, but hasn't swum for ages. She's not an aficianado of cold water, so we agree to a compromise - Crystal Palace. It's 50m and its heated to about 25/26 degrees C - so it doesn't feel like swimming in a bath.
I've never been in all my 24 years in SE London. It was a bit of a shock to find a direct train from Peckham Rye station, every half hour and only 15 minutes in duration. And an even bigger shock to find that it was only £2.25 to swim there.
I was in a little longer and clocked up about 3km - with a mixture of speedy and slooow swimming. And chasing one or two frantic crawlers down the lanes.
3km.
