We’re looking forward to this evening’s event, where we’ll be speaking about the people-powered lido revolution that’s saved so many historic pools and will save many more.

Really excited to watch the Plus journey

Just look at what the lucky people of New York could be swimming in soon 😍
If the water filtration pilot is successful, the pool could open to the public as soon as 2025. Here's to hoping we'll see one this side of the Atlantic too...

Access to natural water — whether in a sea, tidal pool, river, or lake — is a right we should all be able to enjoy without fear of pollution. That isn't the reality today.
Thank you @sascampaigns, @feargal_sharkey, @michaelastracha and others who are fighting for us all.

Tonight @channel5_tv 7pm. ‘Swimming In Sewage. Britain’s Water Scandal’. And yes, you should be outraged because this was lake Windermere, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is being polluted by sewage! @MattStaniek @Feargal_Sharkey @PutneyFleur @bunce_sally @UnderwaterMedia 💩💩

Great news, more safe outdoor swimming in West Yorkshire to come (fingers crossed)

It's great to see the campaign pushing ahead at Otley Lido, with plans to create a facility that can be used by the local community all year round.
Plans include a 25m heated lido, a poolside terrace, play areas, and a home for the community bowling club. #FutureLidos

💩 Our water is some of the worst in Europe.
🌊 How much of the water management in countries with over 90% 'excellent' water is publicly owned?
✅ Austria, 100%
✅ Cyprus, 100%
✅ Malta, 100%
✅ Greece, most
✅ Croatia, most
✅ Germany, most
✅ Portugal, 85%

Without serious intervention by 2027, just 6% of England’s river will be in good ecological status. @Feargal_Sharkey is on the frontline of the struggle to save Britain's rivers.

The council plans to introduce an outdoor lido to the borough! 🏊🏼♀️ @_petermason and @PKnewstub visited a popular lido in the neighbouring borough of Hillingdon earlier this week to see what it offered its residents. orlo.uk/tDxxw

Hello Community, we're Crowdfunding again to find and assess a new site. It's awkward asking, but at the same time we know this stage of work is a crucial catalyst to deliver what will be an amazing and safe community swimming experience for our region.

Sadly, we did not manage to save the site. It was sold at auction for £202k. We are eternally grateful for every single penny, and every single drop of positivity, generosity, support, guidance, effort and enthusiasm. As a community you delivered this in bucket-loads. Respect x
