Shepton Mallet Lido FAQs

img

Can I just turn up and swim?

Yes, priority will be given to those who book in advance but if the pool is not already at capacity, then you can turn up and swim in the designated sessions. We would always recommend booking in advance.
Please note Shepton is a non-cash site so you will need a method of payment.

What will the water temperature be?

The Lido is heated all season, ensuring temperatures within the range of 21-28 degrees Celsius. Given its outdoor nature, the weather significantly influences pool temperatures, making it challenging to guarantee consistently high temperatures. However, patrons can expect an average temperature of approximately 23 degrees Celsius

What are the opening hours?

You can always find the latest opening hours on the website or Fusion app.
The opening hours will vary throughout the year in response to the weather conditions, customer demand, bookings and hirers.

Can I wear a wetsuit or rash vest?

Yes, layers are your choice when swimming. Whether you want to wear a wetsuit or a costume/trunks is completely your choice.

Can I bring inflatables?

Children’s toys and supportive rubber rings for babies are permitted. We do not allow Inflatables such as Lillo’s, or inflatable animals.

Can I bring my pet?

Animals are not permitted on site unless they are guide or support dogs. We have Dog swims at the end of the season.
