The People’s Pool

Our Lido Ltd is a new social business, working to create a new lido for the Liverpool City Region: The People's Pool.

The People’s Pool will be a beautiful, inclusive and sustainable new lido for the Liverpool City Region, building on our amazing heritage of outdoor pools, and creating joyous experiences for us all, long into the future.

This is a great ep from ⁦@GeoffLloyd⁩ and ⁦@Ed_Miliband⁩, with brilliant contributions from Kate Rew of ⁦@outdoorswimming⁩, ⁦@ProfMikeTipton⁩, and ⁦@NellFrizzell⁩ on the exponential rise and communal joy of outdoor swimming. https://t.co/AxgCrIxXEX

After a 19-year campaign, @clevelandpools reopens to the public today, with more than 500 people set to enjoy a swim. We're very excited to be among them!

Today, the UK's oldest surviving outdoor pool also becomes the country's newest lido. #FutureLidos

[Future Lidos @future_lidos]

As well as the opening of new or rescued lidos in Brighton, Bath and Hull, we’ve seen other lidos reborn this summer. @ware_lido and Northcroft Lido are both looking very fine indeed following major refurbishment by @WareTownCouncil and @WestBerkshire. 👏

#YearOfTheLido

[Future Lidos @future_lidos]

One of the joys of lidos is that each is unique. The three opening this year are equally distinctive: Sea Lanes sparkling on the seafront in #Brighton; the Georgian splendour of @Clevelandpools; and #Hull's Albert Avenue, right on the doorstep of its community. #placemaking

[Future Lidos @future_lidos]

Looking forward to reading this new strategy, and hoping it recognises just how many of us don’t want to be *told* to get active, or have to do ‘sports’, or to compete with anyone - we want accessible, enjoyable, sociable ways to move and connect and be happy.

It’s SO great to see a lido being brought back to a community in the north of England! Massive congratulations to @HullCityCouncil for making this long-term investment in Hull’s future health and well-being. 🏊🏼‍♀️ 🥳 🏊🏾‍♂️

[Future Lidos @future_lidos]

In a magnificent sprint to the starting line, Hull’s Albert Avenue Lido is opening… NOW! 🎉 And as if Hullensians weren’t lucky enough, it’s free all day today!

Huge congratulations to @HullCityCouncil and the whole team who made this happen. 🏊🏼‍♀️ 🥳 🏊🏾‍♀️

Fantastic news! 🏊🏼‍♀️ 🥳 🏊🏾‍♂️

[Future Lidos @future_lidos]

Joyous news! Britain’s oldest lido reopens fully on 10th September after a monumental 19-year community-led journey. With Sea Lanes delighting locals and lido tourists in Brighton since June, and Hull’s Albert Avenue Baths due to reopen soon, 2023 truly is the #YearOfTheLido. 🎉

Freedom and joy leap out from these interviews about conquering the fears and barriers that can keep people from the water. Overcoming these barriers is hugely important to @future_lidos, so that everyone can reap the many benefits that swimming brings.

[Future Lidos @future_lidos]

This is a fantastic rallying cry from Irish MEP @GraceOSllvn, calling for lidos and bathing sites all across #Ireland 💦

With @LidoCork and @GeorgesDockLido powering ahead with their plans, let's hope they're just the first of many.

If you’ve ever wondered about the value a #lido can bring to a place, have a listen to this message to Tynemouth council from the Mayor of Waverley, a suburb of Sydney, on the huge contribution of their *six* outdoor pools.

Great to connect with so many people to talk about role we can all play in creating equitable access to aquatic activities @Sport_England @GLL_UK @RYA @clarelobster @BWSWHQ @emmaboggis @suewilkinson13 @afPE_PE 🙏@BlackSwimAssoc for bringing such a great group of people together

[The People’s Pool @PeoplesPool]

Merseyside’s spectacular and much-missed Derby Pool and Southport Sea Bathing Lake are rightly celebrated in this feature on the history of lidos in the July edition of Swim Magazine. It’s time we had a lido of our own again…

@WorksSwim You ran a brilliant campaign, and there is SO much support for your brilliant vision. Rest up, regroup, and remember how much the project is wanted and needed.
This is the end of a chapter, but not the end of the YSW story. ✊
