Lido extends outdoor swim season

Friday 30th March 2012

Swimmers will be able to enjoy more time at West Sussex's only open-air pool.

Arundel Lido is extending its season to include Easter for the first time. Swimmers can also try an outdoor dip for free in a preview day on March 31.

Then from April 1, the pool will open daily from 10am to 7pm until April 15. It will hold weekend openings from April 21 to May 27 with summer openings starting on June 2. The season closes on September 3.

Benjamin Centa, general manager, said: "Arundel Lido attracts visitors from near and far. We are very excited that the lido will be opening for many more days this year and we are hoping that local residents and visitors to the town will take advantage of this.

"We offer a wide range of out-of-public-hours activities, from our early birds morning swims and mid-morning aqua aerobics to our late swallows evening swims, and, for 2012. we will be introducing new swim schools for both adults and children."

The pool is run by the Arundel And Downland Community Leisure Trust which took over the site in 2002.

Season tickets are available for families, adults, juniors and children with concessions available.
