Description

Beccles Lido is a heated open-air swimming pool in Suffolk, offering something for everyone during the summer season. With three pools all kept at 28°C, visitors can enjoy the Main Pool with its 3.7m deep end, springboard, slide, and inflatable aquarun sessions, or choose the Toddler Pool at 0.75m depth and the adjoining Splash Pool at 0.27m, perfect for babies and young children. Families will love the children’s adventure play area, picnic spots, and all-weather outdoor exercise equipment, making the Lido more than just a swimming destination. A poolside café serves hot and cold meals, snacks, ice creams, and drinks during the summer.

Lane swimming is available with four speed options, while improver classes help adults enhance their swimming technique and Aquacise sessions offer a fun, fitness-based workout in the pool. For added excitement, fun swims with inflatables, slides, and springboards are held at weekends and during school holidays, while canoe, kayak, and paddleboard hire provides the chance to explore the River Waveney in partnership with The Canoe Man. Visitors can also enjoy a relaxing trip on the Big Dog Ferry from the Lido to Geldeston Locks Inn, combining swimming with one of Suffolk’s most scenic boat journeys.

Lane swimming is priced at £7.20 for adults (17+), £5.50 for over 65s and children aged 5–16, and £1.00 for children aged 4 and under, making Beccles Lido an affordable and action-packed day out for all ages.
