All The Outdoor Swimming Pools and Lidos In The UK — The Complete And Updated List

Whether, like us, you’re trying to tick off every single puddle of swimmable water in these isles, or you’re looking for a sunny summer day out, we’ve got your back. Yes, this is the most complete and up-to-date list of outdoor swimming pools and lidos in the UK.

We’ll be honest with you, finding the complete number of outdoor pools in the UK is a little bit like finding a needle in a haystack. At our current count, we’ve found 162 outdoor pools, but we know we’re not finished yet. Every time we dig a little bit further, new ones appear. And, sadly, others face struggles to stay open amidst rising costs and maintenance.
