To think having dogs in Saltdean lido is utterly disgusting?

[llamajohn]

They let dogs into the lido with people on weekends 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

This is such a bad faith thread. Continual vague references to health and safety, ignoring the multiple posters pointing out the deep clean. Now referring to an all male directors (which is irrelevant) and ignoring the female director. Insisting the lido could make £250K from fucking kayak lessons? I call bullshit.

I live in Saltdean, I swam in the lido yesterday, I have dogs, I don’t go to the dog swim because I don’t fancy it….see how easy that is?

The reach was you assuming the previous op was sexist and didn’t want you to worry your pretty little head because you’re unable to fathom that the owners of the business might know a little more about it than you do.

Crazy! So the lido owners don't actually make local residents with dogs march through the streets at gunpoint to take part! Who'd a thunk it

50 dogs running off the lead around a lido in an enclosed space - nothing low risk about it. It’s a money grab that is intended to go for as long as they are lucky.

maybe read it properly? It’s only at the end of season, and surely then pool gets drained and cleaned. Honestly I despair people’s stupidity

Presuming you don't run a Lido then.

But I'm sure you'll be looking out for Dog Swim casualties when they occur. Do post when they do. Hopefully they won't be killing off a few people at every event.

Thank goodness for chlorine and draining and cleaning eh.

And all this, including wading through the Lido management details etc because some on the internet took the mick out of your kayak classes idea.

• I listed the specific health risks upthread with link for reference
• The deep clean after four weeks of human owners swimming with dogs doesn’t do anything to prevent these health risks to those humans then
• I originally said mostly male, which was 100% correct and made an self admitted error when wrongly called out for making it up, when it is true and only because I was called “cute” for having a different opinion from the esteemed managers
• I have not said that the lido could make £250k from kayak lessons- that is bullshit twisting of my actual suggestion

They'll be swimming. Not running.

Do write to the council. So many flagrant breaches.

Btw, it’s been £250k raised since 2017 as of 2023 (last years event).

I saw this and can’t wait for the opportunity to swim with our next dog in 2025. It is clearly very popular and not inconveniencing anyone who doesn’t want to go.

People are in there as well as dogs.

One lido round her does it for the last ever session, dogs only, then it drained for the winter.

Anyone succumbed to the High Risks yet?

Wait till you find out about Crufts.

So no problem then?

I am not alone in my concerns.

Yeah there are moaning minnies everywhere

But...this is what Saltdean does? It just allows owners in with their dogs... these are the 'people' you are referring to and why they need to buy a ticket

Only the dog's owners are allowed, and that's only if they want to. They can get a spectator ticket and throw balls to their dog from the side.

This lido DOES do it at the end of the season, and then it IS drained and cleaned.

Article is from October 2022. Seems their concerns didn’t amount to anything.

I think Chippy Lido has a dog session at the end of the season before the pool is drained and cleaned. Can't see a massive issue with that. But to have dogs in there shedding massive amounts of fur, drooling everywhere with unclean feet, unclean bums and then open as usual with no cleaning the next day 🤢🤢🤢 Truly disgusting. I'm a dog lover and lifelong owner but that's gross.

That is what Saltdean is doing. It is not open the next day. It is a few weekend sessions before the pool is drained and cleaned..

OP has riled everyone up with misinformation

I think that all sentient beings have personhood, and that personhood isn't limited to homo sapiens. Dogs have feelings and personalities, and they can feel ill and get hurt. And they grieve. Dogs are definitely people. You just think they don't have personhood bc they can't talk. But language is the only thing missing.

Plus, we are actually animals too.

The dogs look really happy at the dog swim and look as if they're enjoying themselves, just like human people do.

Well this is enough to convince me to go!! Wonderful!
