Excellent news. Swimming, especially outdoors, has huge health benefits .
Delighted to see we have a swimmer as Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. And a brave one at that! Welcome, @lisanandy! 🏊🏼♀️
Proud to announce a brand new location for Yorkshire Swim Works - the abandoned Kettlewell Reservoir on St.Ives Estate, Bingley

Access to natural water — whether in a sea, tidal pool, river, or lake — is a right we should all be able to enjoy without fear of pollution. That isn't the reality today.
Thank you @sascampaigns, @feargal_sharkey, @michaelastracha and others who are fighting for us all.
Tonight @channel5_tv 7pm. ‘Swimming In Sewage. Britain’s Water Scandal’. And yes, you should be outraged because this was lake Windermere, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is being polluted by sewage! @MattStaniek @Feargal_Sharkey @PutneyFleur @bunce_sally @UnderwaterMedia 💩💩
Great news, more safe outdoor swimming in West Yorkshire to come (fingers crossed)
It's great to see the campaign pushing ahead at Otley Lido, with plans to create a facility that can be used by the local community all year round.
Plans include a 25m heated lido, a poolside terrace, play areas, and a home for the community bowling club. #FutureLidos

💩 Our water is some of the worst in Europe.
🌊 How much of the water management in countries with over 90% 'excellent' water is publicly owned?
✅ Austria, 100%
✅ Cyprus, 100%
✅ Malta, 100%
✅ Greece, most
✅ Croatia, most
✅ Germany, most
✅ Portugal, 85%
Without serious intervention by 2027, just 6% of England’s river will be in good ecological status. @Feargal_Sharkey is on the frontline of the struggle to save Britain's rivers.

The council plans to introduce an outdoor lido to the borough! 🏊🏼♀️ @_petermason and @PKnewstub visited a popular lido in the neighbouring borough of Hillingdon earlier this week to see what it offered its residents. orlo.uk/tDxxw
Hello Community, we're Crowdfunding again to find and assess a new site. It's awkward asking, but at the same time we know this stage of work is a crucial catalyst to deliver what will be an amazing and safe community swimming experience for our region.
🙏

Sadly, we did not manage to save the site. It was sold at auction for £202k. We are eternally grateful for every single penny, and every single drop of positivity, generosity, support, guidance, effort and enthusiasm. As a community you delivered this in bucket-loads. Respect x
