Welcome to Future Lidos

We’re an informal network of projects across the UK and Ireland, dedicated to bringing the joy of outdoor swimming to more communities by restoring heritage pools and creating new lidos.

Thanks to support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, we have created a Lido Toolkit, as a resource for members of the Future Lidos network and for lido operators who are developing their pools for the future.

If you’ve found us because you’re looking for a lido to swim in, or a Future Lidos project near you to support, then head to our Lido Map.

And if you’re working on (or even considering) restoring or creating a lido, or if you’d be interested in supporting our work, please do get in touch.
