Lighting up the future of London Aquatics Centre ✨💡

One of London’s most iconic sporting venues has had a serious upgrade.

A £685,000 lighting investment at London Aquatics Centre has introduced a new energy-efficient LED system, reducing energy consumption by up to 60% while giving the venue a whole new level of flexibility.

From elite swimming competitions and televised events to filming, photography and community use, the new system can transform the atmosphere at the touch of a button 🎥🏊

🌈 Colour-changing lighting
🎶 Lighting effects that can sync with music
💡 Eight pre-set light shows
🌱 Up to 60% less energy used at full output
🏊 The ability to illuminate individual areas or black out the pool

The upgrade means this iconic London 2012 venue can continue to evolve, hosting everything from world-class athletes to local swimmers, while operating more sustainably.

💬 “As well as making the venue more energy efficient, the new lighting gives us greater flexibility to make the most of this unique space, whether we’re welcoming elite athletes, local customers, major events or filming productions.”

Here’s to giving an iconic venue an even brighter future!

☀️ Better sleep could start the moment you wake up.

Your daytime routine can have more of an impact on your sleep than you might think. Getting some natural light early in the day helps your body clock recognise that it’s morning and supports your natural sleep-wake rhythm.

So, before reaching for the caffeine, try reaching for some daylight first! 🌤️

Here are a few simple ways to get started:

🪟 Open the curtains as soon as you wake up
🚶 Take a morning walk, even if it’s just around the garden
🥣 Have breakfast near a window
☕ Enjoy your morning coffee outside when you can

Even a few minutes of natural light early in the day can help reinforce the difference between daytime and night-time.

Sleep isn’t just about what happens when your head hits the pillow. It starts with the habits you build throughout your day.

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to do… nothing? 🧘

Recovery in YOU+ is much more, it's making and taking the time to slow down, extinguish the noise, remove the stimulation, breathe and simply relax.

Whether that's taking part in Yin Yoga or EA Breathing Space, getting into nature without your phone and giving yourself a few minutes of calm in a busy day.

Those moments are important and matter too💙
