We are very pleased to let all Friends know that the Lido will be open in December as follows:
FROM 5 December 2021
Mondays 7 am – 11 am and 4 pm – 7 pm
Thursdays: 7am – 11am and 4pm – 7pm
Sundays: 7am – 11am
Added to this, the Lido will open daily from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm from Boxing Day (26 December) to New Year’s Day (1 January 2022). So this will be a week’s worth of daily swimming available over the Christmas Holidays.
We encourage all swimmers to book and come along so that we keep this magnificent facility open all winter. Swim safe.
On New Year’s Day, Better would like to organise a group photo. Time to be confirmed.
Our renewed thanks to Better and to the Council for enabling the extended season to happen.
A JG regular pool swimmer,@acambridgediary, has Tweeted an excellent image showing the new pool lighting for the winter evenings. Note that the pool is operating reduced hours and currently closed on Wednesday, Friday & Saturday see the main page at https://www.jesusgreenpool.org/ for opening times.
The Friends’ Committee presented Fitzbillie’s Chelsea buns to the Better staff and a plant to Mary in the cafe, together with cards signed by many swimmers. On behalf of everyone, we gave our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for their hard work and for making our visits to the Lido such a warm and positive experience.
After a fantastic uptake in cold water swimming at Jesus Green Lido over the Autumn period, Better has confirmed the following operating hours will take effect from 1st November 2021:
Monday 7am-11am & 4pm-7pm
Tuesday 7 am-11 am
Wednesday Closed
Thursday 7am-11am & 4pm-7pm
Friday Closed
Saturday Closed
Sunday 7am-4pm
Your membership will remain live throughout the winter months which allows these extended hours to be possible. Plus, if the water does become a little chilly as the winter months draw in, don’t forget selected membership also includes access to over 150 swimming pools across the UK which includes local indoor pools in Cambridge at Parkside Pools & Gym and Abbey Leisure Complex. Please check with a Better member of the team to find out which pools you have access to.
The Friends of Jesus Green Lido Committee would like to thank Better, the Council and all of our loyal swimmers for their support. We look forward to seeing you through the winter as well as the summer and autumn months!
We’re delighted to announce that further to our consultation, in partnership with Cambridge City Council, Jesus Green Lido will remain open into the winter months. Opening times from the 20th September – 31st October are below and if there is demand the season will be extended further 🙂
Better will make a decision about the opening times from November having reviewed demand over the next two months.
The Friends’ Committee expressed their delight at the decision reached jointly between The City Council and Better, with key support from local councillors, and are grateful to all involved in continuing to show their support for the Lido.
Calling all swimmers! Do keep going through the autumn; it’s so beneficial to health and well being, and a great way to meet friends outdoors.
As anyone reading the local press is aware there is a good chance that Jesus Green Pool may open through the winter and of course, we are in total agreement with that idea 🙂
To help the powers that be please fill in this questionnaire asap!
Sunrise to Sunset
It’s official, on the 21st of June this year, we will be opening from 5am until 9pm.
Don’t forget to book in online or via the app for your 1 off swim! #JesusGreenLido#SummerSolsticepic.twitter.com/jgh1DF4NpM
