Brockwell Swimmers have formally announced the formation of our new inclusive club for lovers of all things Lido.
Having organised several successful events at Brockwell Lido, we have now ratified our constitution, formed the committee, opened a bank account, and now look forward to planning more aquatic fun for 2016.

Water Polo:
In 2015 Brockwell Swimmers organised two Water Polo evening sessions which proved immensely popular. It turns out the Lido is ideally suited for the purpose with the right depth and width at the deep end.
Brockwell Swimmers will be meeting with Fusion Lifestyle (managers of the centre) to discuss Summer dates when the water will be warmer and the evenings longer.
Cold Water Invitation Gala:
The Brockwell ColdWater Gala held back in February 2015 was a great success both for local swimmers and the other clubs who had been invited. It was also a great spectator event for the many visitors who came to cheer on the competing teams. It was wonderful to nally have an event that celebrated the positive nature of cold water swimming and hopefully encouraged more people to use the pool during the Winter.
Brockwell Swimmers will be meeting with Fusion Lifestyle and the Brockwell Lido User Group BLU to discuss a possible date of November 20th.
Outside Events:
We will also be organising a number of events outside the Lido including:
Club Swims Entering teams for other swimming club such as the annual Winter and Summer races run by the South London Swimming Club atTooting Bec Lido.
Walk/Swims More walks and swims such as our successful Oxfordshire Thames walk held last August, as well as teaming up with the Facebook Swim/Walk group.
Book Readings We are hoping to invite more guest speakers to come visit, such as Caitlin Davies who came to read at the Lido Cafe from her fascinating book Downstream, a history of swimming in theThames.
Aims of the Club:
As stated in the constitution, the aim of the club is to promote the sport of swimming in the local community. We believe this is best achieved through an open, democratic, accountable and independent club, as happens in many pools up and down the country… more Polo, less politics.
