Description
Jesus Green Swimming Pool is a Lido situated on Jesus Green in Cambridge. Opened in 1923, it is one of the few remaining examples of the lidos built across the country in the 1920s — open air pools with space for activities other than swimming. Unusually, the pool is significantly longer than it is wide. This was a design idea to mimic swimming in the nearby river. Open all year with reduced timetable Oct-Apr. Price in 2022 £5. Book on website https://www.better.org.uk/or just turn up.

Nice lido, unusual shape, very popular on hot summer days, especially weekends and school holidays. Opened through winter (limited hours) for the first time in 2021-22. Changing cubicles, loos and hot showers are available. Lockers take 20p (not refunded). Benches and some grassed area for sitting, surrounding trees provide some shade. Bike stands by the entrance to lock up bikes but sometimes full in summer. Cafe is now open for longer hours. Celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2023 🙂
