Where do people in London swim?
The Serpentine Lido is, arguably, London’s most iconic ‘open water’ swimming location. Alongside the Serpentine Lido is the Lido Cafe Bar which has waterside tables and is the ideal place to enjoy a snack, meal or a glass of wine. In British English, a lido (/ˈliːdoʊ/ LEE-doh, /ˈlaɪdoʊ/ LY-doh) is a public outdoor swimming pool and surrounding facilities, or part of a beach where people can swim, lie in the sun, or participate in water sports.The cheapest outdoor swimming in London are the 3 Hampstead Heath ponds (under £5), followed by the Serpentine Lido, Hillingdon Lido and London Fields lido (£6 or under).The key difference between a swimming pool and a lido is that a pool can be indoors or outdoors, whereas a lido is always outdoors. In many cases, a lido is located next to an outdoor body of water like a beach, and it will have additional facilities like saunas and sunbathing areas.Swimming at Thames Lido for non-members is £20. But what exactly does that price include? Let’s break it down: • 2-hour access to our historical open-air pool which is heated between 24-26 degrees and kept spotlessly clean. Use of our luxurious hot tub and traditional Finnish sauna (we have two).
Is Thames lido warm?
A: Yes – the pool is heated all year round to between 24-26 degrees. Although it can feel a little fresh to start with, it’s a perfect temperature for swimming. For recreational swimming, the ideal pool temperature range is 25-29°C. This range is perfect for comfort and safety. Keeping these temperatures means swimmers can avoid feeling too cold or too hot. It also helps prevent muscle cramps and keeps the water safe from bacteria.F – 70°F (25°C – 21°C) This is the range where most recreational swimming occurs. While not as warm as Olympic pool water, it’s still comfortable for most swimmers. You might notice a slight chill when you first enter, but it’s not enough to cause discomfort.
