The one-hour sessions delivered by our expert instructors Linzi and Natasha are being being run at 1:30 pm on Sunday 8 November and at 1:30 pm on Sunday 15 November. More sessions will be added in early course. These sessions have always proved to be very popular.

More about our cold-water swimming induction sessions:

• The cold-water swimming coaching/training (coaching) provided by the Lido is restricted to those over the age of 18 years and is intended for those wanting to experience cold-water swimming, but who are anxious about doing this without guidance

• The coaching is only suitable for competent swimmers

• Before pool entry participants will be given expert instruction and guidance

• Participants should bring appropriate swimwear. We recommend normal swimwear plus head cover for swimming (a bobble hat or beanie would suffice). Participants should bring layers of warm, loose and easy to put on clothes for changing into after swimming plus a towel. A second bobble hat or beanie to wear after swimming is recommended. A pair of flip flops or similar for walking from the changing rooms to the pool is also recommended. A large dressing gown might be useful. A hot water bottle to put in a bag with your clothes whilst you are swimming can make your clothes pleasant when you get dressed after swimming.

• Showering in hot water following swimming is not recommended

• Participants are encouraged to sip a hot drink after swimming. They should feel free to bring their own drink or purchase one from the Lido.

• If using a wet suit, please ensure it is clean to avoid water contamination

All ready for our cold-water season and looking forward to welcoming our swimmers from tomorrow.

It seems to have been an age since we last welcomed swimmers. It's a huge relief that it won't be long before we do so again. Cold-water lane sessions are available for booking from this coming Monday through to 29 November at https://bookwhen.com/wlclasses =ev-sa0s9-20261026073000.
Introduction sessions will be added later.
Thanks to all who helped with the preparation. Special thanks to Denise, Lisa and Nicole for their work.
See you soon cold-water swimmers.

Progress on installing the liner is being made. It is taking time unavoidably. It's important that everything is done well. We won't be able to open until late next week.
We will update as soon as we can.

Stage 2. Thanks Shaun.

There are four stages to replacing our pool liner:

Emptying the pool of 60,000 gallons of water

Stripping out the existing liner

Installing the new liner

Refilling the pool with water

We have finished the first stage. We are expecting the work replacing the liner to start on Monday.

As soon as we have sufficient certainty of the work being completed we will publish the booking schedules.

It is always sad to close the Lido following a summer season and this year no less so.

It has been a successful season but not one without challenges. The summer temperatures made this particularly so.

We are delighted to report the highest attendance numbers for a season in the history of the Lido.

We have welcomed participants in aqua aerobics, many more children community groups than previously, less able users, and of course our village school for swimming lessons. Everyone who has used the Lido has contributed to making the Lid a happy and successful facility.

Our lifeguards were, once again, exceptional in their commitment to ensuring that Lido users were both safe and welcomed. They are a brilliant team, and we are truly fortunate to have them working at the Lido (think this has been said before!).

Thank you so much all. You continue to make the Lido a special place and for those not participating in cold-water swimming we look forward to seeing you in May.

For those who do partake in cold-water swimming, a separate update will follow.

(And thanks Tabby for the lovely photo).

Additional sessions, including aqua aerobics sessions, have been added for our last week of the current season. To meet demand we have included 6:30 pm sessions, but due to the need for the lifeguards to be able to cover the pool with some daylight available, swimmers are asked to leave the pool by 7:15 pm.

We will be closed from 28/09/2026 to prepare for the cold-water season. The cold-water schedules will not be published until we have clarity about when we will be able to open again. We will update on this as soon as we are able to do so.

There is a National Animal Welfare Trust dog show at the Woburn Village Hall tomorrow (13/09/2026). As the car park may be really busy we have limited the numbers in our sessions while the event is on.

We do hope that their event proves to be very successful.

12/09/2026

There is a wedding reception today at Woburn Village Hall and car parking there may be limited. Best car parking option is at the car park in Park Street opposite the church.
