Swim for Fitness
Charlton Lido is a 50m Olympic-sized outdoor pool located in Hornfair Park. Offering a range of swim sessions plus a smaller children's pool, it's a popular place to swim for fitness, as a family and for leisure. Our Swim for Fitness sessions take place in slow, medium and fast lanes, so you can take things at your own pace. Alongside the main pool, you will also find a sun terrace for you to make the most of the outdoors. This can be booked via our BetterApp for an additional cost or as a 3 hour block booking which includes your swim session.
Swim For All
No matter your swimming or fitness ability, our Swim for All sessions are perfect if you're looking to build your confidence, work on your strokes, or just simply want to enjoy a swim with your family and friends. Our Swim for All sessions also run in the school holidays where you are invited to splash about and have fun in the water without being constricted to specific lanes. These are casual sessions so you can choose how you spend your time in the pool.

At Charlton Lido, we believe that swimming should be fun and exciting for all the family, including the little ones! So dive into the joy of water exploration with our Toddler Splash sessions, splash around with the kids and create unforgettable memories! These sessions offer a safe and playful environment for toddlers to build confidence in the water while having heaps of fun. Our toddler splash sessions run in our state-of-the-art splash pad.
