A Heated Pool in Dublin’s Docklands Could Be the Most Radical Civic Investment of This Decade A lido might sound like leisure, but it’s really a public health, urban renewal, and social cohesion project in disguise.

We whole heartily support our friends in Dublin City Lido and see every word in this well crafted article echoed in Cork.

We had a great weekend at the Brick Works!

Our main attraction was two big jugs of pond water. One from a pond turtles live in, and one from a pond they don't.

Can you tell which one the turtles prefer?

Seine River swimming access in Paris

Rijnhaven public space and swimming area in Rotterdam

Sandkaj Harbour Bath in Nordhavn Copenhagen

Yes to Wharf! And while we are at it let's take some water access/harbour back from surface and yacht parking and back to people #swimmablecities

When you cities across Europe and even further afield joining the #SwimmableCities Charter and making the effort to mind our waterways, we need to do more.

With Halloween fast approaching, we in #LidoCork think this idea of floating in the pool on a clear evening while watching Jaws has to be put on our annual schedule!
What other films do you feel would be worth adding to the list ?
#FutureLidos #SwimmableCities

Given your public sector experience and dealing with City planners and city councils, where do you feel public blue spaces ( i.e. Lidos, boat rentals ) feature in their thinking and how would you advance it up the priority list ?

Last week we organized a summit
It was great

A Spree change: from Berlin to Oslo, Europe’s urban swimmers take the plunge Parts of the Seine are opening to bathers and Berliners are pushing authorities to permit river dips, while other hotspots continue to delight city dwellers
