Meeting on Monday with the general manager of London fields lido to discuss their pool’s energy usage and environmental impact. They have become experts on geothermal and other environmentally sound ways of heating their outdoor pool. @KenilworthLido @Warwick_DC @AndrewD56715184

London fields lido on a Saturday morning. What a total success story and a perfect example of how to creatively restore a historic lido. Hats off to the london borough of hackney for being a forward thinking council! @Warwick_DC @AndrewD56715184 @KenilworthLido

@Talisman_SC have given a shop to the @KenilworthLido to display their proposals for a new lido. It’s been a joy working on this project with such a dedicated community. Come see a remarkable design from your thought leading residents! @richdick @AndrewD56715184 @Warwick_DC

Werner Herzog on EU: “You idiots, you blaring idiots, the EU is the largest practiced peace project that the history of this planet has ever seen. Celebrate it!” He said this back in 2015, when the german press were bemoaning the EU.I wonder what he’d say now about BJ and pals.

A lido in a park. It’s amazing how psychologically and physically good you feel after swimming in an environment like this. The #sommerbadwilmersdorf in Berlin is remarkable. @Warwick_DC give the people of #kenilworth a truly brilliant outdoor pool. @LidoGuide @KenilworthLido

Post-work outdoor swim. What a way to spend a Monday evening. @warwick.dc @kenilworthlido @LidoGuide @berlinswim

Swimming amongst the trees. Another beautiful Berlin lido. @Warwick_DC be a thought leading council and do something special! @KenilworthLido @Kenilworth_news @LidoGuide @kenilworthlions

The incredible 1936 Olympic swimming pool. On sunny days like today, an outdoor pool becomes a public square, place or piazza. They are not just about swimming- they are an extension to the civic realm of a town or city. @Kenilworth_news @ElofsonMatt @Warwick_DC @KenilworthLido

A bright autumn morning at the new lido, looking out over the lake to the castle on the horizon. The harnessing of geothermal energy heats the pool, allowing the lido to be used all year round. Drawing and design by @studiobates @Warwick_DC @Kenilworth_news @KenilworthLido

Our proposal for a new fully accessible heated 25m lido in Abbey Fields.The above model shows ramped access into the pool adjacent to the outdoor changing rooms and showers.Lobby your local councillors to save outdoor swimming in Ken! @Warwick_DC @Kenilworth_news @KenilworthLido
