‘Get ready to make a splash’: Tooting Bec Lido reopens for the summer
Tooting Bec Lido, the UK’s largest freshwater swimming pool, will reopen to the public on Thursday.
Throughout the summer months, the lido will open every day with two sessions per day, alongside special April swim times to kickstart the season.
Last year, the 90-metre-long Lido underwent a £4million refurbishment, to ensure its future for the next 50 years.
Works upgraded the pool with a brand new pumphouse and a modern UV filtration system to keep the water flowing, clean and safe.
The surrounding landscaping has also been improved for people to enjoy sunbathing and socialising.
Judi Gasser, Cabinet Member for Environment, described Tooting Bec Lido as the “jewel in the crown” of South London’s sports facilities.
She said: “With a £4million renovation safeguarding its charm and functionality for decades to come, this iconic Lido promises endless fun in the sun for thousands of visitors this summer.
“Mark your calendars and get ready to make a splash!”
