The wait is almost over… cold water swimming is BACK! ❄️💙

Our 2026/27 cold water swimming timetable has arrived, and we’re looking forward to welcoming our winter swimmers back to the Lido from Saturday 24 October!

Whether you’re a familiar face returning for another season or thinking about taking your very first cold-water dip, there’s a place for you in our winter swimming community.

Before we take the plunge, here are a few things to know! 👇🏻

❄️ New to cold water swimming?
Our Cold Water Swimming Inductions with Laura are a great starting point if you’re curious but haven’t tried it before. Learn the essentials of safe cold-water swimming in a supportive environment.

🌡️ Take your time and acclimatise.
As the heating switches off, our pool temperature will naturally decrease alongside the changing weather. Take advantage of this gradual transition, listen to your body and never feel pressured to stay in longer than you’re comfortable with.

💙 Look out for one another.
One of the best parts of winter swimming is the community! If someone appears to be struggling, please alert a lifeguard immediately.

☕ Warm up at the café
Our heated café will be open during our swimming sessions, with plenty of hot drinks available to enjoy after your dip. Not swimming? No problem! There’s no spectator admission charge during winter, so you’re welcome to visit the Lido and enjoy the café without getting in the water.

🚿 A little reminder about showers.
Our showers will remain operational, but cold water only. After your swim, dry off, get dressed in warm layers and allow your body to warm up gradually rather than using sudden intense heat.

🎟️ Swim your way.
You don’t need a winter swimming ticket to join us! Pay As You Go sessions are available, alongside monthly and full winter ticket options for those planning to swim regularly - offering better value for our frequent swimmers.

Here’s to chilly mornings, familiar faces, hot drinks and another wonderful winter of swimming together.

Who’s joining us for the first dip of the season? ❄️💙
