SWIMMERS were basking in the sunshine on Saturday for the the reopening of Ilkley Lido for the summer.

The event included stalls, face-painting and activities, as well as the outdoor and indoor pools.

Lido manager, Mick Wood, said: “It went really, really well.

"It was well attended, and the weather was decent.

“As opening days go, it was very successful.”

Councillor Sarah Ferriby, Bradford Council’s executive member for environment, sport and culture, said: “Ilkley Lido is a great place for a family day out, with its wide range of activities and its location, close to Ilkley town centre and on the edge of the beautiful Ilkley Moor.

“In good, hot summers, it has been known to attract up to 50,000 visitors.”

The Lido is open noon to 7.30pm on weekdays and 10am to 5.30pm on weekends up to July 24. It will open every weekday from 10am to 7.30pm during the school summer holidays, and from 10am to 5.30pm at weekends.
