This year's UK Cold Water Swimming Championships saw 600 swimmers brave the near-freezing waters at a lido in South London. There are a number of 'lidos', or outdoor swimming pools, in London and around the UK. The word comes from an Italian word meaning 'beach'.
有600名游泳愛好者參加了在南倫敦一個戶外游泳池里舉行的“英國冬泳賽”。這個戶外游泳池里的水接近冰點。在英國很多城市，包括倫敦都有這樣的 ‘lido’戶外游泳池?！甃ido’ 一詞來源于意大利語，意思是海灘。
