Spotlight On… Arundel Lido

More than just a swimming pool

Tucked away in the heart of Arundel, with beautiful views towards the castle, Arundel Lido is one of those special places that brings people together.

For generations, it’s been a place to swim, play, learn, catch up with friends and enjoy a little time outdoors. But spend any time there and you’ll quickly discover that Arundel Lido is about so much more than swimming.

From sunny summer days spent splashing in the heated outdoor pools to crisp winter mornings braving the cold water, there’s something wonderfully special about swimming in the fresh air, whatever the season.

A community at its heart

Run by a community trust and registered charity, Arundel Lido is a real local treasure - and its community spirit is what makes it so special.

There’s a fantastic range of activities for all ages and abilities, from swimming lessons and junior water polo to aqua aerobics, fitness sessions and the Rookie Lifeguard programme, helping young people develop confidence and essential lifesaving skills.

And it’s not all about getting in the water. The much-loved ‘Elevenses – The Community Cuppa’ brings people together over coffee, cake and conversation, providing a welcoming space to connect with friends and neighbours.

As the seasons change, the Lido changes with them. Heated summer swimming gives way to invigorating cold-water dips, with a sauna to help warm you up afterwards.

It’s a place for fitness, friendship, wellbeing and, above all, belonging.

Keeping the community swimming

Like so many much-loved community facilities, Arundel Lido relies on the support of the people who value it.

Its ‘Keep Arundel Swimming’ campaign is helping raise vital funds for essential improvements and investment, ensuring this special place can continue to be enjoyed by future generations.

We think that’s something worth getting behind.
