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.
