AquaSplash has been operated by Serco since opening in 2003

Islanders can swim for free at Aquasplash this weekend.

As part of their Big Open Weekend, the complex is offering free swimming taster sessions, family fun swims, and access to the slides and the wave machine.

Steve Dunford, contract manager for Aquasplash, said: “We love the Big Open Weekend as it gives us a chance to showcase everything that’s good about our centres.

“The weekend gives visitors the opportunity to try out our facilities for free, and experience the kind of fun, inclusive and friendly sessions we offer at each centre.”

Some exclusive events will also be available throughout the weekend.

The centre has come under some criticism recently for increasing the price of its children’s tickets to £9.50 from ages six and above.

More details about the free event on Saturday and Sunday are available on Aquasplash’s website.
