Thames Baths: the floating lido

💥 A swimmable Thames in 10 years 💥 If @SadiqKhan is re-elected Mayor of LDN 02/05, we can finally have a serious conversation about how to make the #Thames swimmable. There are so many phases to achieving this that we need to start now. @future_lidos #swimmablecities

Green (and blue) exercise should be an essential part of placemaking @petabeeuk @MPrinParr @MerronSimpson @InstituteHPE @ThamesBaths @chrisromerlee thetimes.com/life-style/hea…

A Lido represents an opportunity to create a transformational and ambitious public amenity for Dublin, and it is our hope that DCC and the Central Area Committee recognise this and agree to move it forward.

Fascinating discussion about making the Thames swimmable infront of @LondonAssembly Environment Committee including testimony from @ThamesBaths and the Teddington Bluetits - who said the one thing that could improve it would be water companies to stop dumping sewage.

We’re delighted to have been able to support the Ilkley campaign group. To help us do more for lidos and campaigns across the UK and Ireland, please support our Go Fund Me here - gofund.me/de2a8fcf

“Swimming doesn’t have a demand problem, it has a supply problem” - @Swim_England CEO Andy Salmon here arguing for investment in creating and sustaining pools. It’s great also to see SE’s emphasis on enjoyment, wellbeing, inclusivity and collaboration in the new strategy.

@RTS_riverthames @pluspoolny @UrbanistLive @SadiqKhan @MayorofLondon @LDN_environment I believe it is. But don’t forget that Thames Baths (& I believe Plus Pool) are closed systems, so CSO discharges can be managed and won’t get into the pool.

@ThamesBaths @pluspoolny @UrbanistLive @SadiqKhan @MayorofLondon @LDN_environment Is sewage discharged into the East River ? The Tideway Tunnel will greatly help the Thames but there will still be CSO discharges at periods of very high rainfall.

This is what we want in #London! Full video on Instagram. Musk has chopped this one… Thank you @pluspoolny & @UrbanistLive for this insight. @SadiqKhan @MayorofLondon @LDN_environment this is what we want in London. Are you ready? We are! #swimmablecities #riverthames #thames

📢 Announcement 📢 Today we’re releasing our new designs for a heated outdoor swimming pool in George’s Dock, and announcing a new partnership with @SwimIreland. Read more from @KOSullivanIT in todays’ @IrishTimes.

Come and join us over on #INSTAGRAM Still pondering what to do with this account. Too much hate here. Not enough #swimming. #LeaveX instagram.com/thamesbaths?ig…

15,000 people marched through London for clean water yesterday. Barely a mention in mainstream media. We marched to tell the government to do its job. We marched for our rivers, lakes and seas. We marched to stop profit from pollution. We marched for our children’s future.

Huge congrats & kudos to @RiverActionUK & the @MarchforWater allies for the amazing action in Westminster today. Massive turnout demanding that @Keir_Starmer & @SteveReedMP put an end to sewage pollution once & for all. 👏💪✊🌎🌊
