2025 LSSS CIC was born
Working alongside and independently of Lido Summer Swim School Ltd.
furthering our 
swimming for all
campaign for the future

There is a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds from diverse households in the local area.
Our goal is to include all the demographic to be able to attend our courses.

Summer 2025 we were incredibly grateful to receive a super kind donation from The Arsenal Foundation.
 

Thanks to their support, we were able to invite Adults and Children from low-income households to join us for a FREE 5 consecutive day swimming course from 18th August – 22nd August.
 

That week we welcomed 27 participants of all ages who made the splash with us, bravely taking on a rather cold week of swimming, building resilience and furthering their swimming skills as the week progressed.
 

We saw fantastic growth as the week went by everyone worked hard, with noticeable improvements from all as confidence and technique developed alongside plenty of laughter, fun and smiling faces throughout the week.

​

A huge well done to everyone who took part, and thank you again to The Arsenal Foundation for helping make swimming more accessible to our local community.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Julia Hollis

Elly is a brilliant teacher and super flex at accommodating schedules to make lesson timings work. I needed to brush up on technique and confidence ahead of a swim holiday and Elly helped me with both. I loved the holiday and have booked up to do more - will definitely be booking in more lessons with Elly to prep me. Can’t recommend Elly highly enough.

Sue Watts

Elly was fantastic at getting my two teenagers into the water at the lido. Even though it wasn’t the best weather, both of my children enjoyed the swimming lessons and made progress but they also grew in confidence with their swimming and swimming in cold water. Elly is a fantastic swim teacher!

Monika Forsberg

Highly recommend. My kid cannot wait to go to these swimming lessons, come rain or sunshine. The teachers are amazing and make learning fun. My kid went from a weak swimmer to competent in no time. We do a few lessons every summer to work On technique and learning new skills but also because he really enjoys it.

Simon Balch

Lovely teachers, and a fantastic setting. Our daughter’s front crawl is greatly improved and she especially enjoyed the life saving lesson. Highly recommended!
