When the weather is scorching and the sun is blazing on your skin, there is nothing better than going for a swim in a nice, cold and refreshing outdoor pool.
Yorkshire is not always blessed with temperatures over the 25C mark, so when it is a scorcher, we have to make the most of it. Thankfully there are quite a few outdoors pools and lidos to choose from across the region - and we've also got our wonderful Yorkshire coastline to enjoy if you ever fancy a very fresh dip.
One of the most popular lidos in Yorkshire, which reopened earlier this year, is Ilkley Lido in Bradford. On Friday, there were huge queues just to get inside with lots of families flocking to the venue to take a dip and chill out as Yorkshire enjoyed its hottest day of the year so far.
