Unfortunately on Sunday morning we received the sad news that the lido closure is now imminent.

The lido will remain open this week and next week for definite, but the availability beyond that is unknown as the lease has now been signed by the new owners.

We owe a huge thanks to the Lido Swim club for allowing us to use the facility and please try to make the most of the final 2 weeks of pool availability.
Can we all make sure we take the time during our remaining visits to thank the swim club members for their efforts and support in allowing us to have pool time.

Congratulations to Cory Cook, Adrian Durran & Carlos Claro who all endured the physical pain that is Ironman France yesterday!
