Wave goodbye to a dip in lido

“I think the lido is such a beautiful resource but it has such a short season (end of May - beginning of Sept), that we are not making the most of its potential. The lido normally opens at the end of May (which I think is very late anyway, it should be open from at least the beginning of May). It is a shame that they didn't stick to the last week in May for opening but moved the opening just because the bank holiday moved - remember those amazing 2 weeks of sunshine in late May, I think that was our summer! I hope that to compensate for it opening a month late, Everyon Active will keep it open until at least the end of September. Last year it closed at the beginning of September and September was glorious with record temperatures but the pool was closed and drained (and the sea water temperature in September is the highest it gets to all year too). I am very glad that there will be a cafe there (I hope it serves decent food) as it always struck me as a wasted opportunity that there was nothing there. Penzance lido has a great little cafe which is always busy and does really well.”

“Anyone fancy a swim in the sea?”

“I really don`t know what the problem is with this pool lets face no one in their right minds is going to plonk themselves next to the pool anyway the weather is absolutely lousy! cold, cloudy, stormy and wet. The peope who run it would be be better off checking the weather forcast and leaving the pool to its own devices until the stormy weather has passed might as well drain it now and leave the darned plug out until the summer weather arrives - if ever it does.
Why has such a simple problem got to be made such a big deal out of? Drain it and leave it until the weather improves. TOO SIMPLE!”

“Every cloud has a silver lining I suppose, with high water levels the penny pinching, unscrupulous could well take advantage of this and swim around and get into the pool free of charge - methinks a high fence seaward side of pool might be the order of the day . . . . . . .”

“I wonder who is picking up the bill for the Lido clean-up, will it be Everyone Active or the council tax payer ????”

“It's quite a simple formula folks, you want quality you have to pay for it, you want cheap you'll get rubbish. I know which I prefer and its not rubbish like tin side.”

“To True and when you half way through your swim they usher you to another part of the pool as they rope it off. No warning just a whislte and finger pointing. My sons school cant use it due to out of area clubs having bookings. So much for a community based centre and dont get nme on about the price.”

“Its ok! we can all pay to get in the life centre that we all paid to build!

thats if its not being used by an out of town swimming club of course!”

“It was a mistake revamping and reopening it in the first place. An outdoor, seaside lido is not what people want these days. More exclusive attractions should be encouraged along the hoe foreshore to attract money into the city.”
