A GROUP of about 200 swimmers made a splash as Ilkley Lido held its annual open day on Saturday.

People took the plunge to mark the start of the Denton Road site's 80th anniversary celebrations this year.

The Lido, which features a children's slide and 45-metre stretch of shallow water, will be open until July 26.

The celebrations this year include the annual Solstice swim on June 21.

Adam Clewes, Ilkley Pool duty manager, said: "It's been brilliant.

"The weather was nice for us too. It was a pretty good open day for us."
