A lido might sound like leisure, but it’s really a public health, urban renewal, and social cohesion project in disguise.

With Halloween fast approaching, we in #LidoCork think this idea of floating in the pool on a clear evening while watching Jaws has to be put on our annual schedule!
What other films do you feel would be worth adding to the list ?

Work is underway on a river-use study which will consider the development of a lido or a public open-air swimming pool in #Cork city.
Study to consider development of open-air 'lido' pool in Cork city
A variety of benefits associated with swimming were raised in the submissions including that a lido can act as a community building asset.

Thinking about #WorldLakeDay and reckon these would be a good idea : Pontoon floating pools
Ideal for lakes or reservoirs as they fit together like a jigsaw to allow for a variety of pool sizes.
Could be a great temporary project in our Inniscarra Reservoir, while we wait for our #LidoCork Project.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Here's a tale of two Jubilees - Jubilee Pool Penzance and Jubilee Park Woodhall Spa - which opened for the season on 5th April. Both born in 1935, and now run by independent charities, they're invaluable to the wellbeing of their communities and to their local economies. Have a great season, both!
