Young swimmers are enjoying the new play equipment and revamped swimming facilities at Carnival Pool & Fitness in Wokingham in Berkshire, following a £140,000 refurbishment. The children’s beach pool was at the heart of the redevelopment project and now has new interactive play features such as a water slide, tipping buckets, cannons and water jets. The work was completed by Plymouth-based Hippo Leisure. There was also investment in the mechanical plant works, which included replacing the circulation pumps, valves and strainer baskets and upgrading the electrical boards. New heat exchangers were fi tted with associated valves and pipework to ensure the reliability of the heating and improve temperature control. “All the investment follows a survey we did which found that customers with young children wanted a fun experience in the beach pool area,” explains Martin Griffi ths General Manager at
Carnival Pool.
“Wokingham Borough Council came up with 40k
funding for the new interactive water slide, which has resulted in increased engagement from children and families alike.”

CIRCUS THEME Carnival Pool was named after the site it was built on, which was
well-known in the area for hosting carnivals and fairs in years gone by. Sticking with the circus theme, the architecture of the building was modelled on a big top tent when it was built in 1992. 1Life has managed Carnival Pool & Fitness Centre from the outset which is part of a contract of four leisure venues in the Wokingham Borough.
