Groundhog Jun 2021 4:40pm, 3 Jun 2021 2,399 posts	0 Groundhog I have a day off tomorrow and the rest of the family have already decided they are busy, so I have a visit with a friend near Chichester. Arundel Lido is fully booked, but Hilsea in Portsmouth has space. Actually it sounds big at 67m. Anyone fancy a dip? I'm in at 12:00. hilsea-lido.org.uk

Here's an article about New Brighton lido, or outdoor swimming baths, opened 1934 and effectively destroyed by gales in 1990. There's a terrifying 5-board diving tower and some other interesting archives pics. liverpoolecho.co.uk
Groundhog Jun 2021 4:50pm, 4 Jun 2021 2,402 posts	0 Groundhog I went to Hilsea Lido today. It's a work in progress and could be really nice. 67m long with shallow ends and a diving pool middle. When I arrived they had captured 3 lads who had climbed the fence, then there was a tussle over a scooter which the boys wanted back. Police and local TV were called and I was interviewed while in the pool by BBC South.
