Double Local Splash for Hippo

Hippo has created a splash at two local leisure centres in timefor the summer. The installation of a piratethemed Water Factory has revived the leisure pool at Torquay Riviera Centre,whilst Hippo’s ever popular interactive play panels have brightened up SaltashLeisure Centre.

The pool’s beach area at Riviera Centre has been transformed intoa Water Factory that will encourage water confidence and swimming in childrenof all ages and abilities. The WaterFactory comprises of a Waterball with 2 arms (water wheel and shark shower) anda span arm arch (water wheels, small and large tipping buckets, pelican squirt)which joins to a short mast. Both highand low level play will provide plenty of anticipation and surprises! It is anticipated that the play features willbring increased visitor numbers and revenue to the centre. An extra buzz will be brought to the pool by apirate themed interactive toddler slide!

Riviera Centre is already planning a second interactive playinstallation to include expanding the Waterball with another mast and largetipping bucket with splash board. Theredundant baby pool will also be rejuvenated with a selection of Hippo splashtoys including interactive play panels.

Saltash Leisure Centre has recently seen the installation of threebright and colourful interactive play panels; Diver, Who Pairs Wins andSplash. The panels provide auditory andtactile stimuli as well as incorporating an educational element to play. Saltash will be able to use the play panelsto bring excitement to family and fun sessions and to encourage waterconfidence in the toddler and special needs user groups.
