Fluvo Scores A Hit With West Ham United FC
When it comes to relaxing over-worked muscles, few things beat a hydrotherapy pool. Used by West Ham United FC, the Dynamix Health Club in East London called on the services of Hornchurch based Centurion Leisure to install this stunning hydrotherapy pool packed full of Certikin’s fluvo water features.
The hydrotherapy pool is essentially a free form swimming pool where club members can receive muscular relief following a workout in the club’s gym or simply winding down after a stressful day at work. It’s a well-known fact that a hydrotherapy pool is the single best relaxation resource that a health club can provide for its customers. Aside from simply imbuing the user with a sense of wellbeing, they are also an excellent means of exercising and, of course, great fun!
Certikin is a specialist in providing bespoke installations of the quality fluvo range of water jets and air bubble systems and is the UK’s sole supplier. The systems have been devised and perfected by the pioneering water movement specialists, Schmalenberger of Germany, and are regarded as probably the finest in the world. fluvo helps you get the
most out of a pool by using features that are both fun a nd therapeutic at the same time. Put simply, they add the wow factor! Movements we would otherwise have to perform against gravity, and which we would experience as ‘heavy duty’, become simple to perform. In water, injured joints are easier to move without pain. The buoyancy effect is particularly noticeable on joints which carry most of the body’s weight – knees, hips and lumbar vertebrae. Those suffering from painful joint degeneration or sport injuries will find hydro-massage particularly therapeutic. Centurion Leisure turned to Certikin’s Commercial division for advice on the choice of hydrotherapy equipment. The result is this beautiful fully tiled deluxe concrete hydrotherapy pool (6m in length by 4.4m width) featuring three air bed loungers, a floor
mounted bubble pad, four air blowers, two flat jet water curtains and four massage jets. George Clifton, Managing Director of Centurion Leisure said: “We particularly like fluvo and come back to it without fail, because it is reliable. We have, of course, looked at other hydrotherapy equipment and none of it matches up to fluvo’s quality – they are just poor imitations.” Certikin’s Commercial Manager, Steve Nelson added: “fluvo equipment has a long standing history of being installed at football clubs (such as Rangers, Celtic and Blackburn), thanks to its unparalleled high performance and quality.”

Plans In Place To Revive London Lido
Plans to revive the buried lido lying beneath Peckham Rye are going swimmingly as a local architect has won the bid to draw up a design for the project.
Studio Octopi, based in Burrows Mews, SE1, has released provisional designs which show the pool flanked by the trees at the northern end of Peckham Rye. Chris Romer-Lee, who will be leading on the project, said he would be drawing influence from their previous designs for a floating lido on the Thames. The original lido, located at the tip of the park bordering Peckham Rye and East
Dulwich Road, dates back to 1923, although swimming is

known to have taken place at a pond on the same site as far back as the 1800s.
The lido was closed, like so many others, in 1987, but local enthusiast Ben Lloyd-Ennals has been championing a campaign to revive the leisure facility since this time last year. With thousands of signatures on an online petition and Harriet Harman, parliamentary candidate for Camberwell and Peckham on board, the campaign has gained much local support.
The initial designs put forward include a 50m heated and chlorinated pool with the scope for a smaller natural pool alo ngside it, which could draw water from the river Peck running directly under the site.
The pool would be surrounded by single storey pavilions housing a gym, café and community space.
Studio Octopi now intend to work closely with the Peckham community to come up with a design everyone is happy with. Once the design is finished, it can be used to seek funding from both private business and government grants.
