No, you can walk-in and pay on the gate. This is subject to availability, so to avoid disappointment we recommend booking in advance for our most popular session.

I’m afraid we cannot take bookings over the phone or by email. As part of booking, you will need to pay for your booking, and for security reasons we cannot take your card details by phone or email.

Slow Lane swimmers are likely to swim most of session breaststroke and take over 1 minute to complete one 30 metre length.

Slow-Medium Lane swimmers are likely to swim most of session breaststroke and take over 45 seconds to complete one 30 metre length.

Fast-Medium Lane swimmers are likely to use a variety of strokes and will regularly complete one 30 metre length in 40-45 seconds.

Fast Lane swimmers will swim the majority of session front crawl and will complete one 30 metre length in approximately 30 seconds.

We offer two types of Fun Swim sessions – Inflatable and Slide & Diving Board.

Inflatable sessions feature the Inflatable assault course. There is still plenty of room to swim around the inflatable, and the toddler pools are open for use. The slide and diving board are closed during Inflatable sessions.

Slide & Diving Board sessions feature the slide and diving board. During termtime, these sessions also often include 1 or 2 lanes as well for lane swimming. The toddler pools are also available during these sessions.

You can buy adjacent sessions for a discounted price, to enjoy both session types.

There’s no time limit on when you must leave the lido site. After your swim you are more than welcome to stay on site to use our facilities, however you can only swim for the duration of your booked slot. Please arrive no earlier than 5 minutes before your session start time. You can book back-to-back sessions if you want to stay longer than a single session, though you will be asked to vacate the pool during the gaps between sessions.

Any age! We welcome everyone on our inflatable. Those who cannot swim, or are wearing floatation aids (armbands, buoyancy vests etc.) will need to exit the inflatable into the shallow end after the climbing wall and before the main slide. Under 8’s must be accompanied on the inflatable by an appropriate adult.

Sorry, we do not allow any animals on site, except guide dogs. We also do not allow unattended dogs to be left anywhere on our site. This includes in parked cars or tied to railings outside the lido or on the pontoon/riverside area.

Customers are welcome to bring their own picnics; however we do have a café on site which sells a wide range of hot and cold food and drinks.

Customers are welcome to bring their own inflatables and toys, but we ask customers to check with a Duty Manager before taking them into the pool.

We have a number of lockers on site which take a returnable £1 coin or trolley token.

The Kiosk serves hot drinks, cold drinks, sweets and ice creams during all sessions.

The Café serves hot food 9:30am-6:00pm at weekends and school holidays, though these times may vary according to the pool timetable.

Although we have our own benches, chairs, parasols and sun loungers, customers are welcome to bring their own seating and umbrellas. Items such as large sunshades, tents and gazebos are not permitted.

Unfortunately, we do not stock sun cream. Please come prepared, and if possible, apply your sun cream before arriving at the lido.

Unfortunately, we do not sell swimwear, but we do sell armbands, beach balls, footballs, inflatable rings, sinkers, swim hats and goggles.

When booking online, payment is made by card through our booking system. Most card types are accepted including Apple Pay and Google Pay.

When paying at the gate or at the Café, customers can pay using card or cash. We accept most major credit and debit cards and Apple Pay, though we don’t accept American Express.

Customers are welcome to use flippers, snorkels and mono-fins at the discretion of the Duty Manager. During peak times, these may be disallowed. Please ask for permission before using them. The use of full mermaid tails is not permitted.

Absolutely! We offer the lido for private functions or parties most Saturday evenings from 7pm during the summer season, which can include the inflatable and café too. Clubs are able to hire the pool for their activities. If you’re interested in hiring the lido for the evening, please email matt@beccleslido.com.
