    Cold water curious? Or always fancied giving wild swimming a go? 👀❄️

    Perhaps you’ve watched our winter swimmers from the sidelines, heard about the benefits or simply wondered what all the fuss is about…

    Well, this could be your sign to give it a go!

    As we prepare for another cold water season at Cheltenham Lido, we’re delighted to be offering Cold Water Swimming Inductions with @glowswimcoach , designed to help you take those first steps with confidence.

    And there’s no better time to start! As we switch off the heating, our pool temperature will gradually decrease alongside the autumn weather, offering a great opportunity to begin acclimatising as the season progresses.

    💙 What can you expect?

    Led by Laura, a Lido regular, qualified Open Water Coach and experienced cold water swimmer, these sessions will introduce you to safe cold water swimming, including what to expect, how to enter the water gradually and how to approach your winter swims safely and confidently.

    🌊 Interested in wild swimming too?

    These inductions are also a great starting point for anyone curious about wild or open-water swimming. Understanding how your body responds to colder water, learning safe entry techniques and building confidence are valuable foundations for future outdoor swimming adventures.

    Whether you’re completely new, interested in exploring the benefits or simply want to learn more before taking the plunge, Laura will be there to guide and support you.

    📅 Upcoming induction dates:

    ❄️ 25 October
    ❄️ 1 November
    ❄️ 7 November
    ❄️ 22 November
    ❄️ 13 December
    ❄️ 9 January

    ⏰ All sessions: 9:30–11:00am
    🎟️ £20 per person
    📍 Cheltenham Lido

    Cold water swimming isn’t about how long you can stay in or how cold you can go. It’s about understanding your body, respecting the water and enjoying the experience safely.

    Ready to take the plunge? 💦

    Book your induction via our website and discover what cold water swimming is all about this winter!

    🐾 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! 🐾💦
