Jesus Green Lido

Fab place for a swim. It's very long at 100 yards or 91 metres. Early in the morning divided into slow, medium and fast lanes. Some of the slow lane was reserved for swimming lessons but still left around 50m available. Can pay as you go or get a discounted rates if you're a member. Sauna can be added on for a few pounds extra. Water isn't heated but wasn't too chilly, 20° on a cloudy July day. Recommend flip-flops to walk between shower and changing rooms as stone ground has leaves and other bits of trees falling on it. Café on site with coffees and snacks. Reception provide a token for the lockers or some people leave their bag on a poolside bench.

This is such a fabulous facility. Being a Long poll it gives a different experience from a standard indoor or 25m pool. Unheated other than by the sun. Great changing and shower facilities, toilets, friendly staff. A really good place to have some longer swim practice plus it’s shallow at both ends so no deep end issues that some people experience. The whole place is amazing. Clean and well looked after, just great. We travel 70 miles each way to visit it, it’s that good! In the winter it is cold but amazing, if you are a cold water swimmer it’s the best!
