We can't wait to enjoy this beautiful 67m-long open-air pool. Whether you're swimming
lengths, dipping in between sauna sessions, learning in one of our coached sessions, taking part in our whacky races or taking on the inflatable obstacle run - Hilsea Lido will be yours to enjoy all day.
The pool is unheated, so it'll be a great opportunity to test out your wetsuit, work on your outdoor swimming technique, or cool down after sitting in the sauna.
As well as expertly coached sessions, there will be panel discussion on Outdoor Swimming. Hosted by our very own Ella Foote, ask all your outdoor swimming questions to local experts.
There will also be coached sessions for all kinds of swimmers and their families:
Swim Faster Front Crawl with Simon Griffths: Outdoor Swimmer's founder, Simon, will help you improve your front crawl efficiency in this 30-minute session.
Open Water Swimming Skills with Rowan Clarke: Features writer Rowan is an experienced open water coach. In this session, she'll show you some key skills for taking your swimming outdoors.
Break from Breaststroke with Ella Foote: Ever wanted to try front crawl? Editor, coach and swim guide, Ella, will show you how to get started.
Breaststroke Improvers with Kirsty Trotter: Join Kirsty from Swim, Eat, Sleep, Repeat to improve your breaststroke. Kirsty's an STA Level 2 Open Water Coach and a keen Bluetit. Her session is perfect for swimmers who want to make their breaststroke a bit more efficient.
Water safety for children aged 8-14: Keep your children safe this summer with this vital swimming safety session. We'll look at how children can keep themselves safe, and what to do if they or one of their friends gets into trouble.
