We’re your guide to every single outdoor pool, lido, and purpose-built swimming spot in the UK. We’re visiting them all — and, yes, we’ll tell you if it’s heated or not.


My name is Jem and originally I’m 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.
