Managers of leisure water facilities can test out Hippo’s Squirtums, or see how fun shapes and patterns can be made with their sensory play panels to enable a wide mix of ages and abilities to be entertained.


Replacing old tired play features with a set of Squirtums or panels could be the start of an expanding area, says Hippo. Adding additional features to the area over time can create a complete play zone that promotes family play, encourages water confidence and swimming activities. Hippo’s bright and vibrant water features are certainly adaptable, and an investment to any leisure centre or wet play facility looking to increase kid appeal and regular visitors. Hippo can work with most pool shapes, sizes and project budgets to rejuvenate a pool or poolside. New life can be given to awkward shaped areas or parts of a pool without a direct water supply.
