Hippo adds a splash of interaction!

Hippo Leisure’s innovative splash toys are proving to be extremely popular at leisure centres looking to rejuvenate their pools to create an unforgettable family experience!

A selection of interactive play panels and Squirtums will allow children to splat, squirt and spray together at Concordia Leisure Centre in Cramlington whatever their age or ability. The splash toys have been a successful extension to the centre’s water factory located in the pool’s beach area. This already included an interactive waterball, interactive masts, water wheels, shark showers, small and large tipping buckets and water channels.

The panels and Squirtums are a great way of utilising space on the pool side as well as adding excitement to pool fun sessions. They are also ideal for building water confidence in toddlers and children with SEN who prefer to play on the pool side. Squirtums will encourage tactile play and water exploration whilst the play panels will promote learning through sequencing, patterns and recognition skills.

The simple installation was carried out by the pool operator without the need to close the pool or disrupt the pool activity programme. The Squirtums and panels are both easy to maintain.

Blackburn Leisure Centre will be the next leisure centre to reap the benefits that Hippo splash toys bring. The centre is due to have a splash zone created in time for the summer holidays which features include Squirtum hand pumps, interactive play panels, a short mast and water channels. Blackburn is looking to target the family pound and increase visitor levels at the weekend and during the summer holidays.
