Back when swimming at lidos was a popular leisure pursuit of British holidaymakers the lido on Albert Avenue in Hull would have been a hive of activity. Unfortunately it replicated the fate of most of the country’s outdoor pools and closed down 25 years ago when their popularity diminished.

In the paste few years Hull council have taken the lido on and given it a glow up to the tune of 4.6 million pounds. The public are now able to once again enjoy the heated waters of the newly refurbished pool. They currently have both outdoor and indoor pools as well as a waiting area, gym and Sauna. You can take the plunge with adult and child swimming lessons in either cold or warm water.

With wild swimming now becoming good-living buzzwords it’s vital that open-air activities are encouraged through proper investment in infrastructure. Much of England’s city-dwelling population don’t have easy access or time to get out to remote countryside swim spots but this facility seeks to rectify that by being a community hub where everybody regardless of age or ability can enjoy the water.

The council have asserted their commitment to following the example of Brighton and Salford by investing in community projects like this. The revival is in full swing and renewing our society’s love of lido culture is just one of the ways we can make a real effort to improve the way we live.
