Hillingdon Lido - (Near Hillingdon, UK)

4 /5 Anita Reddy: Spent the day here on Sunday- a very hot day. Unsurprisingly it was crowded with not enough sunloungers for the number of people- we had to spread our towels on bare concrete. Just too crowded in general, I think numbers should be controlled a bit more- lifeguards were trying their best to manage behaviour but it was hard. Other than that I actually enjoyed swimming here and didnt think the conditions were too bad- of course there were insects and leaves in an outdoor pool, thats what you get! Would return, but Id try and avoid the peak days/times I think.

3 /5 Jas (Jazz): This is will be hopefully read by management. This is the only outdoor swimming pool I hillingdon and should be managed differently. Why on hot summer days, especially weekends, half the pool is assigned for fitness, even the shallow part of it. We have been there today, temperature is 30c, and there are like 10 fitness swimmers, reserving the whole left side, and around 200 others all crowded in the other shallow corner of the pool. People kept trying to swim in the clearly less used area and life guards kept telling everyone off and asking them to leave the fitness side. There was one fast lane which was used by literally 2 swimmers. Clearly the priority in such days should be for people to have fun, and those "Olympic" swimmers could book the fast lane or book the indoor pool. You should needed to be there and see how stupid the management was. This needs to be rearranged as this summer is clearly warm and people deserve to have fun.

1 /5 Jade Keelan-Rice: Absolutely horrible experience. The facility was dirty and poorly maintained. My son, who has Autism and ADHD, swam to show the lifeguards what he could do, and instead of offering support or even basic understanding, they responded with rudeness and dismissed both of us. They even told me my son couldn’t swim—despite the fact that he did. The staff showed no patience, no empathy, and no professionalism. If you’re looking for a safe, clean, and respectful place - especially for families with children who have special needs - this is NOT it.

2 /5 Liam: Visited on a hot day in the summer holidays and couldn’t believe the pool shut at 1 pm for a full hour, only reopening at 2 pm. To make it worse, you have to pay again to re-enter. Closing in the middle of the day — especially in peak season — is ridiculous. The only reason I’ve given 2 stars is because it’s a nice pool to visit when it’s actually open.

2 /5 Agata Cwiertnia: In the summer for public swimming - Place perfect for loud and wild children, and for not well behaved adults, who dont know what the fitness swimming lanes are for and like to just chill there to make swimmers annoyed... Great for people who like to swim in dirty water and who dont mind not being able to shower themselves after the session due to very low water pressure. Place totally overcrowded in hot weather, not enough spaces at the car park... I didnt expect it will look like this on Monday evening, so I totally dont recommend visit in the summer for swim for fitness session. Place is good for closed swimming events out of season (that is why I gave 2 stars not 1)
