Teignmouth Lido reopening for first time since Covid-19 pandemic

Teignmouth Lido is reopening today (Saturday 27 May) for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

An £800k "decarbonisation" project that took longer than expected kept the outdoor pool closed last summer. It involved installing solar panels, battery storage, low-carbon air-source heat pumps and high-efficiency modern pool circulation pumps.

The lido's full price list is as follows:

• Adult all-day swim pass: £8.60;
• Junior all-day swim pass: £6.20; 
• Adult swim/ fun session (maximum two-hour entry): £6;
• Junior swim/ fun session (maximum two-hour entry): £4.10;
• Family swim pass (two adults and two children, all-day entry): £25.40;
• Family swim pass (two adults and two children, maximum two-hour entry): £17.10;
• Shower only: £6.

You will only be able to pay by card, not cash. You will need a 20p coin to use a locker, however.

A Teignbridge Leisure spokesperson said: "Our general and fun swims work on a pay-on-arrival basis. Teignbridge Leisure members can enjoy this facility as part of their membership.

"Non-members can pay per session or purchase a day pass from the lido reception."

On Saturday, there is lane-swimming available from 9.30am to 11am, after which there is a 'fun swim' until 5pm followed by more general- and lane-swimming. The pool closes at 7pm.
