Why We Recommend Ilkley Lido As A Must Visit For Families
Swimming Pools
The outdoor pool, open during the Summer, is beautifully maintained, with crystal-clear pool water inviting swimmers of all ages to take a dip and cool off in warm weather. Surrounded by fantastic views and a seaside atmosphere, the Lido area offers plenty of space to spread out and soak up the sun. There are loungers and umbrellas available for those looking to relax in comfort. There's a slide for children and a water fountain pool for little ones to play in. Plus, a lagoon-shaped pool for swimmers. It's an ideal school holiday destination to make the most of the Summer break from the classroom.
There is a heated indoor swimming pool on offer here. It is 25 m long and has spectator seats, and it is open all year round. This makes it perfect in inclement weather when the outdoor pool may be closed.
Water Activities
For those looking for more excitement, the Ilkley Pool and Lido also offer a wide range of activities, such as aqua aerobics classes, water polo matches, and even swimming lessons for beginners. The Lido Community Group are keen to keep people using the facilities. Sessions in the pools vary, but they try to have something for everyone at some point during the week! Options include Fun Splash, Swim For All, Ladies Only, Adult Swim, Lane Swim, Steady Swim (laned but for kids), and Aquacise, plus school swim sessions and Bradford Aquatics Lessons!
