5 Benefits of Outdoor Swimming at Droitwich Lido This Summer
Droitwich Spa Lido has been a local favourite for generations, and for good reason. As one of the few open air, saltwater pools in the UK, it’s the perfect place to cool down, move your body and enjoy a bit of time outdoors. If you come for a morning swim, have a splash around with the kids or just to relax on the grass, there’s plenty to gain from making it part of your summer routine.
Here are five real benefits of swimming outdoors at the Lido.
It’s great for your mental health
Outdoor swimming has been shown to reduce stress and boost our mood. A swim outside in the fresh air can help you feel calmer, more focused and mentally reset, especially when you’re surrounded by the relaxed atmosphere of the Lido.
You’ll get some vitamin D
Spending some time outside means soaking up natural light, which helps your body produce vitamin D. This supports your immune system, energy levels and bone health too. And, it just feels good to be out in the sunshine.
It’s a full body workout
Swimming uses nearly every muscle group, and doing it in cooler water can help improve circulation too. Swimming lengths or just paddling around, it’s a low impact way to stay active and build up strength.
It’s affordable and family friendly
Compared with many other summer activities, a visit to the Lido is great value. No need to book a holiday or an expensive day out! It’s an easy, budget-friendly way to enjoy some quality time with friends and family.
You’re supporting a local community space
Every visit helps to keep the Lido running, and it also helps to support the work that we do as a not-for-profit social enterprise leisure provider. By choosing to swim here, you’re backing a space that’s open to everyone and part of the town’s history and heritage.
