OUR PARTNERS
Swim Ireland are keen supporters of our Lido proposal. They feel it could provide some much needed swimming infrastructure to the city, helping to grow the numbers of active swimmers.
Cork Lido has been a great support to the Dublin City Lido campaign. Their ambition is to create a heated outdoor poor close to the river Lee, providing somewhere safe to swim in Cork all year round. They hope to replicate the success of the famous Lee Baths, which were demolished in the eighties.
Future Lidos is an informal network of community-led Lido projects and campaigns around the UK and Ireland, dedicated to reviving outdoor pool swimming in our communities. GDL is a member and has found the community a vital resource for support, information, and pooled resources. Dublin City Lido is a member.
Engineers at Dublin’s District Heating project plan to install piping along the North Quays to service buildings with heat energy from Ringsend incinerator. They have said George’s Dock is ideally located to avail of this potential energy source.
Studio Octopi is a dynamic architecture practice based in London that has a special interest in the building and restoration of outdoor swimming pools. Architect Chris Romer-Lee has been a huge help to the campaign, contributing much of his knowledge and helping with initial conceptual designs, which are now to be replaced by a detailed design.
