An Update From Level Water
"You did it.
Dusk ‘til Dawn. Your team, in the water together, swimming for 12-hours through the night. If that wasn't enough, an extraordinary total raised for children who need it.
Our Peterborough Lido 12-hour Swim Relay swimmers have raised over £19,000 and counting - enough to fund 1,266 one-to-one swimming lessons for children with disabilities. Children who've been turned away elsewhere. Children who, because of what you did this weekend, now have a real chance in the water.
We are genuinely, deeply grateful".

☀️☀️☀️The comments on this post are a testament to THE most wonderful summer months of events celebrating the Lido’s 90th anniversary year☀️☀️☀️

And that's a wrap on the Lido's 90th birthday season... and what a great season it's been 😃

We would like to thank the weather gods for multiple heatwaves ☀️ but, more importantly, say a huge thank you to everyone who visited this year, whether it was for a swim, fitness class, dance to live music, dip & paint session, outdoor movie screening, dip with your dog or just a cup of coffee with friends. This year really did have it all! What was your highlight?

Finally a big shout out to our lifeguards and all of the Lido staff who, as always, did a fantastic job in keeping you safe.

We look forward to seeing you again next year 😊
