Hilsea Lido is more than a pool, it’s a unique place with history and heart, a hub for the local community, a centre for both mental and physical wellbeing.

OPENING ON SATURDAY 2 MAY

From family themed activities and open-water swimming to recovery zones, social spaces, food, drink, and events, the Lido will offer something for everyone.

Hilsea Lido will champion the benefits of open water swimming for all in a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment. Designed for accessibility and flexibility, serving swimmers of all ages and abilities, with no barriers to entry.

Swimming is unique. It is something that everyone can do. We want everyone to safely enjoy the water throughout their lives.
