[Sussex] Saltdean Lido

[Bozza]

Visited Saltdean Lido this morning for a "family swim" session.

They'd only advertised adult swim lane sessions had recommenced, but when I went to their booking site yesterday afternoon I saw a family swim session for today so booked it.

Essentially you get an hour, and although I believe the session was booked full, there was loads of space to have fun, so they seem to be keeping capacity down.

Just mentioning it in case it helps anyone out who fancies a swim. I'd kept an eye on Arundel's outdoor pool but it seems to be booked up for most of the Summer, if not all of it. It also looks like they have a slightly strange setup where each family gets an allocated square of the pool. At Saltdean, you have the whole pool to use.

Just checking now, Saltdean has space in a family session at 4pm tomorrow, and lots of availability on multiple sessions on Sunday. I suspect because you can't see availability until you register on their site - https://www.fusion-lifestyle.com/centres/saltdean/login/#register - it's escaped the attention of many people.

Anyway - enjoy if you go, ignore this if it's of no interest!

Saltdean Lido's great if you have the weather. Typically we've already got loads of outdoorsy plans for this weekend in the countryside but I'll put this away for when I'm off work for a week*


















*when it will be raining and 15 degrees. Week starting 24 Aug. Avoid it like the plague, sun fans.

Pfft. Just a drop in the ocean.

Thats just reminded me that last summer our local small outdoor pool decided to have naked pool evenings! Not sure whether it was compulsory to be naked or a choice but I bet it has never been so busy.

I can login but don't need to go through the registration process now, obviously.

They seem to have an app - have you tried that - https://download.mobilepro.uk.com/a/55U2?p=6

I look forward to the 24th August then, on a side note has that chest infection cleared up yet?

That seemed to coincide with a sharp increase of step-ladder sales?

Touch wood yes. Can't be coughing in a swimming pool!

In Shaftesbury. Never.

No, a drop OUT of the ocean.

 

[Dorset Seagull]

In Shaftesbury. Never.

Indeed, who would have thought it!

Lots of nice country hotels with outdoor pools in Sussex doing very good deals at the moment as well. That’s if you want to avoid all the screaming little oiks in Saltdean / peacehaven

As an aside I spent large swathes of my younger life at Saltdean Lido. My parents took me there as a youngster then I would go with friends in my early teens. Absolutely loved the swimming and also loved the building itself.

 

[schmunk]

Saltdean Lido? Sounds flair. Can he play left back?

If anyone was popping down for a dip, don't bother as it's closing for three to four weeks to repair an underground water leak.

Shouldn't be too long before the Speedos can come out again.

Phew. I almost purchased a winter season ticket at the weekend

Many beautiful morning swims before work in the summer. Glorious. Didn't realise it is about 43m long until the wall wasn't arriving quite quick enough.
