Excellent news. Swimming, especially outdoors, has huge health benefits .
Delighted to see we have a swimmer as Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. And a brave one at that! Welcome, @lisanandy! 🏊🏼♀️

We are running an NHS research study to find out if getting into cold water helps people with symptoms of depression and improve mood and wellbeing
If you are interested and want to find out more about the study, follow this link to the study website: outside2.co.uk
This is a monumental piece of work by some very clever and truly passionate people. Thrilled to have been in the steering group and thrilled to know so many will benefit.
We are thilled to introduce The Lido Toolkit – the product of a major year-long collaboration supported by @HeritageFundUK.
The Toolkit is the centrepiece of our new website, at futurelidos.org/.

Access to natural water — whether in a sea, tidal pool, river, or lake — is a right we should all be able to enjoy without fear of pollution. That isn't the reality today.
Thank you @sascampaigns, @feargal_sharkey, @michaelastracha and others who are fighting for us all.
Tonight @channel5_tv 7pm. ‘Swimming In Sewage. Britain’s Water Scandal’. And yes, you should be outraged because this was lake Windermere, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is being polluted by sewage! @MattStaniek @Feargal_Sharkey @PutneyFleur @bunce_sally @UnderwaterMedia 💩💩
Great news, more safe outdoor swimming in West Yorkshire to come (fingers crossed)
It's great to see the campaign pushing ahead at Otley Lido, with plans to create a facility that can be used by the local community all year round.
Plans include a 25m heated lido, a poolside terrace, play areas, and a home for the community bowling club. #FutureLidos

💩 Our water is some of the worst in Europe.
🌊 How much of the water management in countries with over 90% 'excellent' water is publicly owned?
✅ Austria, 100%
✅ Cyprus, 100%
✅ Malta, 100%
✅ Greece, most
✅ Croatia, most
✅ Germany, most
✅ Portugal, 85%
Without serious intervention by 2027, just 6% of England’s river will be in good ecological status. @Feargal_Sharkey is on the frontline of the struggle to save Britain's rivers.
