Lido & Outdoor Pool Operators Insurance
Specialist Insurance for UK Lidos, Open-Air Pools, and Community Swim Facilities
Operating an outdoor pool comes with its own unique set of risks — from water safety to changing weather conditions and seasonal footfall. Whether you’re running a restored heritage lido, a community-managed swimming pool, or a modern open-air leisure site, we provide insurance tailored to the specific challenges of open water environments.
Who We Cover
We work with a broad range of lidos and outdoor pools across the UK, including:
- Public and community-run lidos
- Heated and unheated outdoor pools
- Seasonal and year-round open-air facilities
- Pools with cafés, saunas, and wellness areas
- Heritage pool restoration projects
- Sites offering classes, events, and private hire
We’re proud to support both historic venues and modern swim spaces alike.
What We Offer
We understand that every outdoor pool is different. Our bespoke insurance packages can be tailored to suit your specific setup, and may include:
- Public & Employers’ Liability
- Property, Plant & Equipment Cover
- Business Interruption (including seasonal income loss)
- Event & Hire Cover
- Professional Indemnity (for lessons & lifeguard training)
- Food, Drink & Retail Add-Ons
- Volunteer & Committee Member Cover
From slip risks to equipment breakdown and public events, we know the exposures — and we know how to protect against them.
Why Choose Lime Street?
With deep experience across the sport and leisure sector, we understand what makes lidos special — and what makes them vulnerable. Whether you’re operated by a local authority, a community trust, or a private enterprise, we build cover that’s right for you, not just a generic facility type.
We also understand that lidos are more than pools — they’re social spaces, wellness hubs, and heritage sites. Our advice is designed to reflect that.

Testimonials
“We recently switched to Lime Street Brokers and couldn’t be happier with our decision. Their competitive pricing, attention to detail and deep understanding of our industry that truly set them apart. The insurance policy they tailored for us perfectly meets the specific needs of our business, giving us complete peace of mind. Their professionalism and expertise have made the entire process seamless. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, industry-focused insurance solutions!”
“We’re thrilled to share our experience with Lime Street Brokers as our climbing insurance provider. From the very beginning, their team demonstrated an impressive understanding of the unique challenges and risks associated with running a climbing centre. They guided us through every step of the process, ensuring we had the right coverage tailored to protect both our business and our climbers. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Thanks to Lime Street Brokers (and in particular Laura from their Sports and Leisure division), we now operate with the confidence that our centre is fully protected, allowing us to focus on what we do best – creating an amazing climbing experience for our community. We’re incredibly grateful for their support and highly recommend them to any climbing centre looking for a reliable insurance partner!”
“Even though Lime Street Brokers is a new company, I have worked with Laura for the last few years. The reason I have stayed with Laura is because I can see that providing the right insurance for her clients really matters to her. This allows me to have full trust in her. I’ve needed climbing wall insurance for the last 15 years and in that time I have never come across a broker like Laura. She regularly checks in to make sure everything is ok and if any laws change that may affect me, she will get in touch to let me know. All in all, I know I’m in safe hands.”
“Always a pleasure to work with the team at Lime Street, knowledgeable, efficient, and most important of all our premiums have come down considerably as a result of their efforts, Thank You.”
“It’s been great working with Laura from Lime Street on our new policy. For an insurance broker, her knowledge on our business as a skatepark and education setting is great. Knowing that she knows what she is talking about gives us the confidence to know that we have got the best cover. The communication from her has been great too and I know that if I have any questions, all I need to do is pick up the phone. To add to this, I have no issues referring Laura and Lime Street onto any other business owners I know as I am extremely confident she will provide the same amazing services to them as she has to us.”
