Its less than 2 weeks to Lido opening day (May 23rd).

You can now get your season tickets in advance from the Town Council Office at the Priory. 10% discount if they are bought before opening day.

On opening day (May 23rd) there will be some demonstration events in the morning, prior to opening for the adult swim at 1 pm.

Final volunteer work day is Wed MAY 20th from 10am. Come and join FoWL if you can.

Finally, Early Morning Swims are likely to be every weekday morning from 6 to 8am at least initially. If there is not sufficient demand, frequency may reduce.

Please get in touch with @ware_lido if you are interested in the EMS.

Just are reminder that the Lido is now open. Even though the weather is not great the water is warm.

At the moment there are lunchtime adult swims every day between 1 and 2pm, then its Open for All 2.00 to 5.45 pm. Quiet evening swims are Monday, and Thursday 6-8pm, and Wednesday 6-7pm.

Early morning swims also started today. These are presently every weekday 6-8 am. We do need to ensure these sessions are well supported to ensure they can run this frequently through the season.

Because if insufficient demand the EMS will discontinue. Keep swimming and they stay.

Had my first 'swim' of the season last night - perfect as always - a wonderful way to keep fit for an hour. If the sun stays out I'll definitely be back.

Just wanted to let you know that there will no evening swimming sessions on Wednesday and Thursday next week (22 and 23rd July). This is so that some local schools can have end-of-term parties. Hope that this is not too inconvenient for any of you.

Also just a reminder that there are some different activities on offer at the Lido over the summer:
- Aquafit Tuesday mornings at 9-10 am (adults and older children).
- There are several courses of swimming lessons, and there is also a chance to join a synchronised swimming course. Full details at the Lido reception, or call 01920-460703
