Lido News

We are sad to report that Michael Heffer, who swam at Jesus Green Lido for many years, died last week. His funeral will be held at 1230pm on Tuesday 16 May in the East Chapel of Cambridge Crematorium. Our thoughts are with his daughter, Lucy.

Note that from Sunday, May 7th the Lido will be open from 7 am to 7 pm 7 days a week.

Pooling memories

To help celebrate Jesus Green Lido’s centenary this year, we are producing a book about the Lido and its wonderful community of swimmers.

Have you got thoughts and memories you’d like to share with us? Did you learn to swim there while you were at school? Did you use the pool with your parents, grandparents, children or grandchildren? Has the lido been important in your friendship groups? And what memories do you have of its part in your Cambridge summers?

We’re looking for a variety of contributions; you can send us 100-word soundbites, and longer pieces or we can arrange to interview you, so please drop us an email.

A short history of the pool is here https://www.jesusgreenpool.org/history-of-the-pool/
