I've been going here once a week. Its a 20 minute off road bike ride from my house. I haven't used it before as I couldn't justify £8 for a swim when there's a bigger lake over the road that costs nothing, the Thames is 20 minutes away in the other direction, and I had membership of the local lido. But the big lake is surrounded by fisherman, the Thames is OK but busy with boats of all sizes on the weekends and the Lido has been closed since lockdown.
I've weirdly got into it, there's a lot of people in the water, it's now almost 20 degrees (it warms up really quickly) so no need for a wetsuit, and all in all good value. Spent a happy hour and a half in there this morning.
The local Lido opens on 21st. I'll mix up nice 26 degree pool swimming and the lake for the foreseeable future.
