As well as being a Lido regular, I am a qualified Open Water Coach and experienced cold water swimmer with additional training in running cold water sessions. My goal is to give you the information, support and confidence you need to get what you want out of your winter swims.
The session will be geared around introducing you to safe cold-water swimming, making sure you know what to expect before you get in the water. We will learn how to do a safe, gradual entry and I will support you all the way.
Cold water swimming carries risks so you need to be prepared and it is important to inform the Lido and me of any medical conditions, to bring any medication with you, that you may need. For some conditions, you will need medical clearance before swimming in cold water, so please complete the accompanying form and return it to me ahead of the session to avoid disappointment on the day.

🐾 Coming to Dog Swim this weekend? Here’s what you need to know!
A few important reminders before you and your pup arrive:
🐶 Harnesses are strongly advised - particularly if you’re not entering the water, so you can safely help your dog out of the pool and reduce the risk of claw injuries.
🦮 Dogs must be kept on leads when walking around site and when not entering the water.
🚿 Please shower your dog after their swim due to the chlorine products used in the pool. Showers are available, but dogs are not permitted inside the indoor changing rooms.
💩 Bring poo bags and please use the correct general waste bins - not recycling.
🎟️ TICKET UPDATE: All morning sessions are now SOLD OUT, with very limited afternoon availability across the weekend.
⚠️ This is a PRE-BOOKED EVENT ONLY - there will be no walk-ins on the day.
See you this weekend! 🐾💦

A little appreciation for the people who keep us swimming 👀🛟
As another heated season begins to draw to a close, we wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you to our incredible team of lifeguards.
From the early morning starts and late-night finishes to those very long (and very hot!) summer days, they’ve been there throughout it all - keeping our swimmers safe, supporting our events and helping thousands of you enjoy the Lido this season☀️
There’s so much that happens behind the scenes to keep the Lido running, and the commitment, care and hard work of our lifeguard team certainly doesn’t go unnoticed.
This photo might not capture every member of the team who has been part of our season, but this thank you is for each and every one of you.
To our 2026 team - thank you for everything you’ve given to the Lido this season. We couldn’t do it without you!!
And if you spot one of our lifeguards during your final swims of the heated season, perhaps give them a little thank you too! 👏🏼
