alchresearch Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hathersage pool does very well, and just recently hosted a 24 hour swim. As does Nantwich (probably the best inland pool in the UK as it uses natural salt water) and Ilkley. Once you've swam in an outdoor pool, an stuffy indoor pool will never feel as good again.

I used to go swimming in the Serpentine lake in Hyde Park London. There was a lido and it was lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London certainly knows how to embrace open water swimming. There's quite a lot of places there now, all very successful. https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2015/jul/24/outdoor-swimming-tour-london-top-10-lidos-and-ponds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo-atkinson Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Used to have a decent open air pool in longley park ,used to be busy when we all went at night and climbed over fence How would you like it if they built a new one and some youths from the council estate broke in at night and started messing about in the pool? What goes around comes around ---------- Post added 29-06-2018 at 13:46 ---------- We did the same after closing time at the pub, great days:D Some pictures of it HERE.

dutch Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) Even all the cities half size of Sheffield I have lived in had an outdoor swimming pool. Thatcher ruined the north and it still shows everywhere. Money is pumped in stupid market and city centre development focussed on money business finances. In UK real human necessities like a decent outdoor pool are secondary to the ££££ mentality. Edited June 29, 2018 by dutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
