We are committed to working with parents to create a safe environment for children.
All children under the age of 8 should always be accompanied by a guardian aged 16 years or over, this person may be responsible for up to two children. Guardians must maintain constant supervision particularly in the water and changing rooms. We advise that children under the age of 5 should be supervised on a one-to-one basis.
Parents have a specific responsibility for the safety of their own children, this cannot be abdicated to lifeguards. The role of the lifeguard is to maintain a safe and healthy environment for all swimmers.
We have four queues available;
We allow all those who have booked onto site first and then we will allow entry to others customers who have not booked onto site.
If we have hit site capacity, we will move to a 1-out-1-in scenario.

🐾 Coming to Dog Swim this weekend? Here’s what you need to know!
A few important reminders before you and your pup arrive:

🦮 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.

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! 👏🏼
