It is always sad to close the Lido following a summer season and this year no less so.
It has been a successful season but not one without challenges. The summer temperatures made this particularly so.
We are delighted to report the highest attendance numbers for a season in the history of the Lido.
We have welcomed participants in aqua aerobics, many more children community groups than previously, less able users, and of course our village school for swimming lessons. Everyone who has used the Lido has contributed to making the Lid a happy and successful facility.
Our lifeguards were, once again, exceptional in their commitment to ensuring that Lido users were both safe and welcomed. They are a brilliant team, and we are truly fortunate to have them working at the Lido (think this has been said before!).
Thank you so much all. You continue to make the Lido a special place and for those not participating in cold-water swimming we look forward to seeing you in May.
For those who do partake in cold-water swimming, a separate update will follow.
(And thanks Tabby for the lovely photo).
