Citizens need a safe environment to swim all year round in our City.

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 ?

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.

Always great news to see sports and youth getting recommended for funding.
Would welcome a chance to have our #LidoCork project included, offering a community hub and sports facilities of all ages.

A city under a Yellow heat warning for the weekend! ☀️☀️
What would you give to have a safe spot to dip with friends!
#LidoCork needs to happen.

The Sun is out ☀️ and the City waits with bated breath for our #LidoCork
We could amuse ourselves with some Unicorn races in the interim. 😀 🏊♀️

Delighted to hear the winner is a Corkonian! 💰💰
Would be even happier if they were a swimmer!
Cork needs a Lido and we in #LidoCork would happily give you naming rights. #EuromillionsWinner

The Jubileumsparken pool project in Gothenburg, designed & built by Bluet Floating Solutions, would be equally at home in Cork Harbour. A feast for the eyes & soul.
#LidoCork is feeling inspired.

Was delighted to get a dip in @pool__is__cool in Brussels before they close at the end of the month.
17°C water temp and 14°C air temp. 🏊♂️🌞
Wishing them the very best with their campaign to get a permanent Lido in their city.

we at #LidoCork would be delighted if you would support the hashtag & get it trending.
As swimming is an important life skill, getting safe swimming facilities in the City & accessible for all would be of enormous benefit. #FutureLidos

Can you imagine a Community Hub or village of likeminded citizens as part of our #LidoCork along the Docklands Re-development, as was similarly envisioned in Brighton Sea Lane! ( 📷 by @sealanesbtn.bsky.social )

If you're passing, you might suggest a floating Lido with Reed beds to filter the water for year round swimming in the Lee. A win-Win in both the Green and Blue spaces dept.

Things that float...
The Paris Lido:
Located at Bassin de la Villette, the 3 pools range in depth from 16 inches to 6.5 feet, while spanning a total area of 17,000 square feet. The Bassin regularly hits its daily quota of 1,000 swimmers during the summer. 🏊♂️
