NSC flume out of action

Sat, 01 Jan 2022

One of the two slides in the leisure pool at the NSC has been temporarily closed to allow for further assessment.

The closure follows concerns which emerged just before Christmas, that a swimmer’s exit from the flume is not always as smooth as it should be. Consequently, the NSC team has taken the decision to temporarily suspend the flume until more is known.

The exact cause of the problem has yet to be established, but the observations of staff and users’ experience on the flume have been sent to the contractor that installed the facility.

The contractor is due back in the Island early in the New Year, and has been asked to investigate and rectify the problem.

The flume in question will remain closed until then, however the other flume, splash zones and pools continue to be fully operational.
