Brief description:

The Waterfront Leisure Complex was completed on 20th July 2003. The swimming pool building is the last section of this project to achieve practical completion. The Aquasplash facility aims to provide locals and tourists with a choice of activities in state-of-the-art water park.

These facilities include a 25m competition pool, a leisure pool with a wave machine and an outdoor pool which has a lazy river and 3 Nr flume rides. The competition pool has a movable floor which can be lowered for diving or raising for swimming competitions. The depth of the floor ranges from 0.0m to 3.8m.

Within the building there is a Reception Area, Office Accommodation, a Changing Village, Staff Areas, Soft Play Area and Spectator's Gallery.

The opening of the Aquasplash has revived the public's interest in the Waterfront Leisure Complex and now that the project is complete it is clear to see the benefits it will bring to the Island.
