Do session go ahead if it rains?

In most cases, swimming sessions will continue even if it’s raining - after all, you’re going to get wet anyway. However, sessions may be paused or cancelled in cases of dangerous weather conditions such as thunder, lightning, storms, snow, or serious fog, which can affect swimmer safety and lifeguard visibility.

Here’s what to expect at specific venues:

Finchley Lido Leisure Centre
Outdoor pool closes when it rains; Swim for All bookings transfer to the indoor pool.

Pools on the Park 
Sessions will continue to run during rain. Please note that sessions may only be disrupted in the event of thunder and lightning.
