A historic lido in East Sussex on Saturday (September 13) opened what is thought to one of the biggest canine swimming events in the UK, where dogs are able to join their owners at the open-air pool. The event will run for four weekends at the Saltdean Lido. Organisers will host five sessions a day on each Saturday and Sunday. Each day will have four 90-minute sessions expected to host around 150 dogs as well as a quiet session limited to about 50 dogs. The event is organised entirely by volunteers as a fundraiser for the Saltdean Lido Trust.
