Hi, I'm Jem
I’m originally from North Devon, right by the sea. I’ve always loved being in the water, and since moving away, outdoor pools have become a place for me to reconnect and switch off.
I’ve always loved to complete things, so my daily swim quickly turned into a mission to collect them all. I guess this is my version of Pokémon cards, with added water.
Here you’ll find the list of every lido I can find in the UK and pool guides for all the ones I have visited so far.
I hope you find inspiration for your own adventures, whether it’s a lazy day at the pool or a lido road trip.
Why we started
All The Lidos
Fun
No, really. Adults just need more fun in their lives. Jump in at the deep end and take the lilo with you.
Adventures
We believe you can find adventures everywhere. Especially after a hard day at work, in the water.
“I feel ridiculously joyful and exhilarated! I almost didn’t go because of the weather, but my sister-in-law convinced me that we should and it was amazing. Bonkers but amazing.”
“Swimming on a rainy evening was SO refreshing and good fun too. It was both cathartic and grounding — my senses felt super alive and I felt relaxed and deeply at ease afterwards!”
A Swim Spot For Everyone
From chlorine to sea pools, reservoirs to docks, we're determined to track them all down.
