2011 AGM
Morning swims
A quick reminder that there are morning lane sessions on Saturdays & Sundays 9-10am for those who want to enjoy the pool before the public session, especially useful on hot days when the place gets busy.
There are also the fabulous early sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays 7.30-10am. There’s no better way to start your [...]
2Swim4Life event kicks off the season
Wow, the amazing 2Swim4Life challenge was hosted at the Lido on Saturday and it was truly an amazing sight and fantastic achievement by the swimmers taking part. To see the pool being ploughed up and down all night by swimmers, overseen by Russell and his team was something the Lido hasn’t seen before.
We’ll post more [...]

Last few days of season…
Yep, that time of year’s upon us when sadly the pool closes for the winter, so make sure you make the most of the final swims, whatever the weather has in store for us this week.

Two weeks of this season remains….get in & enjoy!
Oh dear it’s that time of year already when we’re in count-down to the pool closing for the season. Just a quick heads-up that we have 2 weeks left to get in and swim as many times as we can to stock ourselves up on Lido memories for the winter.
Enjoy!
Evening sessions now at an end till next year
We’ve had notification that due to the poor light in the evenings, the evening sessions are at an end for this season.
Here’s looking forward to next year!
No filming this year…..but here’s hoping for next year…
Sadly the producer of the proposed film featuring Mark Foster and the Lido has made the tough decision not to go ahead with filming this year due to not being able to raise sufficient funds. We’re naturally disappointed, but wish Nicola and her team all the very best for next year and remain as keen as [...]
End of free swimming for over 60s…but here’s an offer
As we probably all know, one of the immediate casualties of the tightening of government spending is the closure at the end of the month of the free swimming programme for the over 60s around the country, which of course affects the Lido.
However, Spectrum management have announced that the over 60s can swim at a [...]

We’ve heard from those using the Lido to train for the British Gas Great London and Great East Swims and the inaugural Blue Mile in Plymouth for example. We hope to share some of their experiences in the newsletters and [...]
