LidoCork

With Halloween fast approaching, we in #LidoCork think this idea of floating in the pool on a clear evening while watching Jaws has to be put on our annual schedule!
What other films do you feel would be worth adding to the list ?
#FutureLidos #SwimmableCities

Given your public sector experience and dealing with City planners and city councils, where do you feel public blue spaces ( i.e. Lidos, boat rentals ) feature in their thinking and how would you advance it up the priority list ?

Study to consider development of open-air 'lido' pool in Cork city A variety of benefits associated with swimming were raised in the submissions including that a lido can act as a community building asset.

Work is underway on a river-use study which will consider the development of a lido or a public open-air swimming pool in #Cork city.

Thinking about #WorldLakeDay and reckon these would be a good idea : Pontoon floating pools

Ideal for lakes or reservoirs as they fit together like a jigsaw to allow for a variety of pool sizes.
Could be a great temporary project in our Inniscarra Reservoir, while we wait for our #LidoCork Project.

Remember to warm up, even when it's not 'cold' - Outdoor Swimmer Magazine There are benefits to warming up before any swim, even a wild or recreational swim, says Simon Griffiths.

Always wise to warm up before a wild swim, even on days like this! ☀️ outdoorswimmer.com/coach/how-to...

Always great news to see sports and youth getting recommended for funding.
Would welcome a chance to have our #LidoCork project included, offering a community hub and sports facilities of all ages.

A city under a Yellow heat warning for the weekend! ☀️☀️
What would you give to have a safe spot to dip with friends!
#LidoCork needs to happen.
#FutureLidos #SwimmableCities

Would this be considered a serious protest option, if we didn't get our #LidoCork Project!! 😜

The Sun is out ☀️ and the City waits with bated breath for our #LidoCork
We could amuse ourselves with some Unicorn races in the interim. 😀 🏊‍♀️

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Delighted to hear the winner is a Corkonian! 💰💰
Would be even happier if they were a swimmer!
Cork needs a Lido and we in #LidoCork would happily give you naming rights. #EuromillionsWinner

A Spree change: from Berlin to Oslo, Europe’s urban swimmers take the plunge Parts of the Seine are opening to bathers and Berliners are pushing authorities to permit river dips, while other hotspots continue to delight city dwellers

A Great read and always wonderful to know there's more of us with the same ambition. #LidoCork #FutureLidos #SwimmableCities

The Jubileumsparken pool project in Gothenburg, designed & built by Bluet Floating Solutions, would be equally at home in Cork Harbour. A feast for the eyes & soul.
#LidoCork is feeling inspired.

Think they like to refer to the town as being "Mid-Cork"!
Not wanting to be too close to Limerick!! 😀😜

We'll have to get a shop like this next to our #LidoCork 🦆
Think @rickoshea.bsky.social and @rtegold.bsky.social would approve. 👍😄

Imagine gently floating in #LidoCork with this replica 16th century Spanish Galley ship sharing the same wonderful city harbour.

Was delighted to get a dip in @pool__is__cool in Brussels before they close at the end of the month.
17°C water temp and 14°C air temp. 🏊‍♂️🌞
Wishing them the very best with their campaign to get a permanent Lido in their city.

Here's a tale of two Jubilees - Jubilee Pool Penzance and Jubilee Park Woodhall Spa - which opened for the season on 5th April. Both born in 1935, and now run by independent charities, they're invaluable to the wellbeing of their communities and to their local economies. Have a great season, both!

Afternoon Good Sir, @rickoshea.bsky.social
A big "how's it going" from Cork.
A bit of Summer Swimming Weather tuneage would be great.
Either : "The Water is Wide” by Eva Cassidy
or “The Ocean” by Led Zeppelin
Cheers.

As today is #WorldWaterDay
we at #LidoCork would be delighted if you would support the hashtag & get it trending.
As swimming is an important life skill, getting safe swimming facilities in the City & accessible for all would be of enormous benefit. #FutureLidos

Irish businesses will struggle to compete with Amazon ie, both online and in the high street.

Shop direct with your Irish retailers, who already exist.

Support local, not the billionaires.

Thanks for the follow back and fingers crossed 🤞 #LidoCork

Great work, Hannah, and if you could do the same for us, I'll get you a few swims when we finally get our #LidoCork project built. 🙏
