Lido: A dip into outdoor swimming pools: the history, design and people behind them
The Lido: A dip into outdoor swimming pools is a photo book divided into sections featuring lidos from Europe, UK, Australia, USA, and the rest of the world, with some Q&A interspersed between the sections. Each lido has a small paragraph of background but no practical information such as size, opening times, and changing facilities. The book is not a guide book, but a beautifully presented book for anyone who loves outdoor swimming, with lovely photography and snippets of history and interviews on why people love to swim outdoors. The book is informative and attractive, printed on matte paper, and good value for money. However, in the Europe section, if there are two lidos in a country, they don't appear on Consecutive pages, and it's unclear who the people selected to interview were sometimes. The book is a great gift and a nice coffee table book that serves as a swim map for travels to other countries or as a nostalgia trip. For those based in the UK, it's worth investing in The Lido Guide, which is a practical guide. Overall, Lido is highly recommended for anyone interested in outdoor swimming and the history of lido pools.
