Hi, if you go there on your own for a swim what do you do with your phone etc as there are no lockers? Is it ok to leave in a bag by the side of the pool?

I would think that's at your own risk

I'd leave my phone at home or in the car

Id be more worried about my car that seems mad.

thinking a waterproof bag would be the solution

Yes I am, great! The website said there weren't any but sounds like it's out of date, thanks.

Afaik, there are some lockers outside poolside and some inside near the changing rooms. Take your own padlock though!

Thanks, I wouldn't think to take a padlock so good to know!

My local London lido doesn't have lockers, everyone just leaves their stuff in the poolside cubicles, or in a heap. I suppose it's insecure, but there are always so many people on the poolside, staff members, lifeguards etc.

Yes that's what I was hoping. I suppose everyone there has paid to be there and if I can't get a locker I'm taking as little as possible anyway - as long as no-one takes my clothes 😂

I have locked my phone in the glove compartment of my car before!

Unless something radical has happened in the last 6 months they need £1 to operate the lockers.

I hadn't thought of someone nicking my clothes! That would be awful.
