Taking a Dip with...
I'd angle for a "double meaning" so beloved of the Anglo-Saxons. Here "dip" would refer to going for a paddle with someone (i.e. an aqua version of going for a walk with someone) while dipping into their history/opinions, etc.

At the lido/beach with...
Podle wikipedie
http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Občanská_plovárna
šlo o venkovní koupání a budova plovárny sloužila jen jako zázemí
Tomu podle mě odpovídá
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lido
ale je to hlavně britský výraz.
Příklad:

: that's the problem, though. It's not a "talk show" in the conventional sense and "At the Swimming Bath" sounds terrible :(

You´re right, Stuart, it does sound terrible. I just wanted to point to the more or less "official" website of the programme in case Petr needs it.

no ja to osobne tak nerozlišujem, hoci som čítal jeho životopis a hlavne milujem jeho CD s Chet Atkinsom. Hoci aj jeho tvorba s Dire Straits je veľmi fajn jeho sólové projekty sa mi vidia "kapánek vyčpělé". Tá jeho zmienená skladba sa volá "Twistin’ by the pool".
