Many outdoor pools won’t be ready this weekend and some may not open at all this summer, despite the change in government advice

Culture secretary Oliver Dowden’s announcement on 9 July that lidos can reopen from Saturday 11 July had outdoor swimmers across the UK digging out their towels and togs at the prospect of being able to return to the water. After months of what has felt like bone-dry purgatory for many of us, the feverish anticipation was evident across social media, while pools have reported being inundated with messages asking if they would be opening on Saturday.

Indoor gyms could reopen 'within days' as more lockdown restrictions easeIndoor gyms have been shut for four months and were not part of the Government’s latest easing of restrictions, which saw restaurants, pubs, bars and cafes reopen in England on Super Saturday. Thank you! Much needed and welcomed news! Everyone should have to wear masks & when they complain they are uncomfortable, ask why? All of the moisture building up in the mask making it difficult to breath would instead be pumped out into the confined space of the gym for others to breath. This is literally insane.
