TAI CHI is a moving meditation based on ancient practice and performed here under the trees on the Lido lawn. Originally a martial art, it is recognised for its health benefits, including improved balance and flexibility, and reduced stress levels. You will practise warm-up exercises and Qi Gongs as well as the form, a choreographed series of movements which are slow and gentle. Suitable for everyone 16+ from complete beginners to the more experienced, Tai Chi can even be done seated if you need to rest or stabilise yourself. Wear loose comfortable clothing and flat-soled shoes, or practise barefoot. And bring your swimming kit: the class concludes with the chance for a short dip. Taught by John Hickson of the Golden Flower Tai Chi school.

SWIM FIT, new for 2024, is a class based around swim technique and fitness, for adults 16+, in a small group of maximum 8 swimmers. A hybrid of swimming tips, drills and fun circuits, it’s designed to take your swimming to a new level of enjoyment. Open to all abilities, as long as you can swim 50m, you can work at your own pace and we will tailor the class to your needs. Swim Fit is designed by our swim teacher Jess Miles to be so motivating you won’t realise how hard you’re working!

SUP YOGA, on a stand-up paddleboard, is a meditative and soothing experience, and a rare chance to practise yoga floating in crystal clear heated water. New to yoga? New to paddleboarding? No problem, the classes are completely beginner-friendly. There’s space for you to go at your own pace, challenge yourself or just enjoy the fun of it! The added element of being out on the water really helps focus and relieve even the most frazzled mind, and, for more experienced yogis, even simple poses will challenge you on the board. The Lido’s partners and teachers for this class are Wittering SUP, ASI accredited SUP school.
