FUNDRAISERS are being encouraged to take a dip in a historic lido for charity.

Staff at Pells Pool in Lewes are celebrating after the oldest freshwater outdoor public swimming pool was chosen by Macmillan Cancer Support as one of their locations for a national sponsored swim.

Aquatic fundraisers aged 18-years-old and above can take part in 5km and 2km individual or relay swims at the Lewes pool on Saturday September 19.
