🏊 Aujourd’hui, je me suis baigné dans la Deûle.
Ce n’est pas une incitation, mais un acte politique symbolique.

Après Paris, Lyon, Copenhague, Anvers, et bientôt Poitiers, Bordeaux... Demain, nous créerons un lieu de baignade à Lille.

Avec de l’audace, de l’ambition politique, c’est possible.

Yes to Wharf! And while we are at it let's take some water access/harbour back from surface and yacht parking and back to people #swimmablecities

This article should resonate across all cities as we face the challenges of urban blue spaces and who has access.

With the planning extension given to Tower Holdings for Custom House Quay development, wouldn't this style Lido be a great addition to the quay at the Port of Cork Sign.

Always great news to see sports and youth getting recommended for funding.
Would welcome a chance to have our #LidoCork project included, offering a community hub and sports facilities of all ages.

Later in 2027 I hope to be at the Swimmable Cities Alliance conference in Ottawa–Gatineau, Canada, to hear stories of the re-enlivenment of urban waters for people, nature and communities www.swimmablecities.org
An inspiring year of riverine work and play ahead!

Nothing better than warm pancakes after a morning dip in #LidoCork when we open.
Happy #PancakeTuesday to all and I'll keep practicing. 😉

Imagine gently floating in #LidoCork with this replica 16th century Spanish Galley ship sharing the same wonderful city harbour.

With thousands taking to the water for the Christmas Charity Swims, it further reinforces our promise to bring our #LidoCork project to fruition.
Swimming is a life skill and year-round activity. 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

Now Here's an idea to keep our Lido heated and the lights on!
#CorkLido #FutureLidos #SwimmableCities
The world’s largest sand battery got through Finland’s harshest winter in years. 2,000 tonnes of sand, heated to 500-600°C by cheap power, feeding district heating in Pornainen.

And it worked.

Result from one install: oil down 100%, emissions down 70%.

Industrial process heat is the real prize.

How might the Clyde be more healthy & accessible over time? Like the Seine in Paris or Spree in Berlin. The Swimmable Cities initiative is a global grassroots movement supporting the connection of city dwellers & their urban waterways. #swimmablecities
