“ I feel f***ing amazing!” said one gentleman post lido swim on Thursday.
Swim anytime 9am - 11am this Sunday 26th November for the next Serotonin Swim of the season at the historic Jesus Green Lido.
Swim 1 length or more. Get your stamp, sticker and edible reward!
Water will be about 8 degrees. Cloudy with patches of sunshine forecast.
How will you feel afterwards? Listen to Jackie Wilsons ‘Your love keeps lifting me higher’ not a lot of people know that this song is actually about his favourite lido!
