NEWS IN BRIEF
WATER-CYCLING CLASSES IN THE CAPITAL
PoolBike aquatic exercise machines are being used at new aqua-cycling exercise classes at the Dolphin Square Health & Fitness Club in Pimlico, London.
Each class hosts up to 10 people and the 45 minute water workouts can burn up to 800 calories and combine the principles of stationary cycling but with the support from water. The group classes are suitable for all levels of ability due to the buoyancy and resistance that the water provides. Individuals can also participate at their own pace and this type of exercise is also suitable for pregnant women, people with heart disease, performance athletes and anyone recovering from injuries. Other benefits of this low-impact workout include improved aerobic endurance, increased breathing capacity and blood flow, flexibility and recovery.

Hippo Play Platform And Flume For Leyton Leisure Centre
Hippo have recently installed an Interactive Play Platform and Anaconda Flume Slide at Leyton Leisure Centre. The bright and colourful features have enlivened the leisure centre and created excitement and anticipation amongst customers, attracting more and more families to use the facilities.
The three tier Interactive Play Platform in the leisure pool provides inclusive play scenarios for all ages and abilities, and can accommodate a high throughput of children. Toddlers enjoy racing each other down two toddler slides into the shallow beach pool to play with the splash toys including an interactive snake squirt, a mini mast and channel. Both features enable children to have fun manipulating the water flow and encourage water experimentation. A custom fabricated aqua themed interactive play panel fixed to the pool wall encourages interaction and development through educational puzzles and tactile features. These low level features are great in encouraging children of all ages who lack water confidence.
The Play Platform has created endless surprises and excitement for the older children and includes three interactive masts with a
variety of arms including tipping buckets, spraying water wheels and shark showers. The children love anticipating when the large tipping bucket will be full enough to tip onto the splash board and soak them from above. A tipping trough enables children playing below in the pool to tip water and drench their friends! Children exit the Platform slide via a two lane multi slide which leads to the poolside cannons where they can compete to squirt water to hit a selection of targets in the Splash Battle water feature.
Finally both children and adults can ride the Anaconda flume slide. The 48 metres of GRP flume slide takes the rider on a journey around the pool hall, outside and ends in an aquacatch adjacent to the leisure pool. Hippo’s new features are set to provide a lasting legacy of water play at Leyton for the whole family for many years to come. They are very versatile and can be updated and expanded in the future if required.
