Steve Wright is one of thousands who’s health has improved thanks to regular pool time, however two of his local pools have now closed 🏊 He's worried about the impact this could have on him and many others. That’s why we’re saying #DontPutACapOnSwimming More👇 #ValueOfSwimming

We're building #FutureLidos by bringing together project leaders to pool resources and share knowledge. This month @Brynaman_Lido took 40 local families to enjoy the water at @LidoPonty — and shared expertise in management, sustainability and inclusivity.
