The Peterborough Lido season has been extended this year, as a result of work being carried out at the Regional Pool, meaning sunbathers have had the chance to take advantage of the sunshine in the outdoor pool.
The Lido will remain open until September 17, with sessions running from 9.30am until 1.30pm, afternoon sessions from 2pm until 6pm and early morning swims on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays from 7am until 9am.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Steven Keates said: “A cold front will begin to influence things from the northwest towards the weekend, though it’ll remain very warm or hot in the south.
"There’s a chance the thunderstorm risk to western areas from Friday onwards may require a warning response, with some potentially impactful downpours, though exact details on the likely positioning of these downpours are still being determined, and indeed many places may see little if any rain on Friday and Saturday.”
