Hillingdon Lido, a popular Open Water Swimming club in Uxbridge, is excited to announce its upcoming local Open Water Swimming event. Located within the Hillingdon Sport & Leisure Complex, this 50m Grade 2 listed outdoor lido is a must-visit destination for swimming enthusiasts in West London.
To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience, all swim sessions at Hillingdon Lido must be prebooked in advance. You can conveniently book your session up to 7 days in advance via the Better UK app on the Hillingdon Sports and Leisure Complex club page, or online. This way, you can secure your spot and avoid any disappointment. However, if you are unable to book in advance, please visit the reception upon arrival, and the friendly team will assist you as long as spaces are available. Just remember to bring proof of purchase at the reception, as screenshots displayed at the entrance are not considered sufficient.
When you visit Hillingdon Lido, you'll not only have access to the outdoor pool, but you'll also find convenient amenities such as indoor and outdoor changing areas, lockers, and showers for your use. We want to ensure that every aspect of your swimming experience is catered to, so you can focus on enjoying the open water.
At Hillingdon Lido, there's always something happening. Whether you're looking to swim for fitness, join an aqua aerobics class, or simply have a fun time with friends and family, we've got you covered. Our Swim for Fitness sessions are specifically designed for customers who want to swim lengths and keep fit. The lido is divided into 3 or 4 lanes, marked as fast, medium, and slow, so you can swim at your own pace. These sessions are open to customers over 16 years old or those who are club standard swimmers. Remember to book in advance to secure your spot.
For those who prefer a more low-impact workout, our outdoor Aqua Aerobics classes are perfect. Not only do you get to enjoy the fresh air, but the water also helps reduce stress on your joints and muscles. These classes are available during the summer months to all members, and you can also pay as you go if you're not yet a member. Keep an eye on our social media and website for updates on when this class launches and when bookings are available.
During the summer, Hillingdon Lido also offers Swim for All sessions, which provide the perfect opportunity to have a splashing good time with your loved ones. Whether you want to play in the water, float away your stresses, or work on your swimming strokes, these sessions are a fantastic way to unwind during the warmer months. We have an assortment of floats available during these sessions, or you're welcome to bring your own.
If you're looking to enhance your swimming skills and technique, we have the perfect solution for you. Our resident Swim Doctor, Charlotte Reisch, is here to help you train for an event or improve your overall fitness and technique. These adult swimming fitness sessions are limited to small groups of 10 people, so make sure to secure your spot early. Swim Doctor sessions will be available to book during the summer months only.
We haven't forgotten about our younger swimmers either. Hillingdon Lido's outdoor children's splash pool is a wonderful place for kids to have an enjoyable time with their peers and family. This heated pool, maintained at a comfortable 25 degrees, is open during the summer months.
When you need a break from swimming, take a moment to visit our on-site café. Located in the main leisure complex, it serves a wide range of delicious food and drink options that can be brought out to the lido area. Additionally, we have an outdoor catering area where you can indulge in ice cream, cold drinks, and snacks.
To enhance your relaxation by the pool, we have plenty of new sun loungers available. Soak up the summer sun and feel like you're on vacation, even if you're staycationing this year. The sun loungers are free of charge and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Additionally, we offer poolside lockers where you can store your belongings using a £1 coin (returned after use). Outdoor change cubicles, showers, and toilets are also available for your convenience.
If you're planning a special event or a private gathering, Hillingdon Lido is available for hire from May to October. Whether you're a swim or triathlon club, a school or college, or a business looking to host a corporate event or baptism, please get in touch with us for more details on pricing and availability.
Hillingdon Lido also offers a range of memberships that include access to the lido. If you're an existing member within the borough, certain memberships now grant you entry to our fantastic lido.
