Brockwell Lido Users

Details of our BLU and BLSC AGM ON Sunday 16th November. All welcome.

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.

Reminder that the lido has walk in tickets available for all sessions even when the app is showing fully booked. Unless the lido is judged to be at capacity you can get in.

We have arranged a meeting with Fusion today for an update. If anyone has evidence of how long specific facilities have been out of order, let us know. If you'd like to get involved to help restore our precious Lido to its proper condition please get in touch.

Many thanks all

Update from BLU re Fusion

We are acutely aware of the poor maintenance and cleanliness at the Lido, with numerous facilities out of order for months. We are in dialogue with Fusion, Lambeth and local councillors to address these problems.

Lido Letter 83 And to think I nearly didn’t go. I’ve never been a morning person. I have friends who can sleep for six hours a night and get up at mythical hours like 5am and function perfectly well. If I don’t g…

Lido Letter 75 It’s a day of extremes. It’s extremely sunny, which is a welcome change from a week of the standard London Christmas climate of grey skies and wet pavements. It’s extremely windy which only becomes…

Lido Letter 72 Storm Darragh has loosened its grip on the Park but the memory of it is still there in the occasional gust, so when I arrive at the Lido I nearly turn right into the changing room. A cold wind when…

Brockwell Lido have introduced a new policy. If you don’t “check in” and have booked you will be caught out. Note there is no need to book for either gym or pool.

Here's a video of the Crisis swimmers at Brockwell Lido this morning. Sound up if you want to know what a group of cold swimming newbies sounds like.

Many congratulations to the Crisis icebreakers who took the plunge today to fundraise for a great cause.

Tomorrow at the lido cafe - lido lates.

We are always grateful to Brockwell Lido staff who give up a bit of their Christmas Day so people can come and swim. The Xmas Day swim always sells out very quickly.

If you want to swim on the 25th, don't hang about. Tickets go on sale tomorrow (Wed 4th) morning.

Lido Letter 70 The Park is grey, wet…. and warm. A good few degrees warmer than the last couple of days of sun and frost. I walk my way past the Parkrun stragglers dragging themselves to the finish line, and find…

Lido Letter 69 It’s the last day of the excruciating diet I’ve been on and the second day of frost. The Park is bright and sunny again, perhaps a little warmer than yesterday, with no mist to add atmosphere. Ther…

Male and female couple [50s+]
Male and female couple [25-40]

Looking forward to representing @future-lidos.bsky.social at the #APPG for Swimming in the House of Commons this coming Weds, 27th Nov. Physical activity and sport, especially swimming, has a compelling value proposition, and it's for government to translate this into funding. Let's get them built!

Lido Letter 67 The sun is out over the Park and if God is English she is also definitely a Londoner. The place has never looked finer. Storm Bert has caused billions of damage, probably, but it’s also left me a n…
