Please note that we are closing the club to swimming with immediate effect until further notice.
Yesterday on 24 June 2024, we received a message from the Royal Parks.
"Unfortunately the sunny weekend looks to have caused a Blue Green Algae bloom with significant strands and filaments visible in the lake. The samples were collected this morning. Results will be back late this week and will be shared once received. TRP have closed swimming as a precaution after visual inspection suggests that the BGA threshold for medium risk has been breached."
As Blue Green Algae can have rather serious consequences on humans and animals, the Committee's position is to stay in line with the Royal Parks Lido and close when they do.
You can find out more on Blue Green Algae in this document by the Environment Agency.
We apologise for the inconvenience and will keep you posted when we hear more.
