Long-awaited flumes to reopen today

It's been a long time coming but the four-million pound flumes are now open for business.

The improvements at the National Sport's Centre began in August 2018 and should have taken nine months to complete.

More than two years later, the island's education minister said people are "finally" able to use the leisure pool and water slides.

The swimming area will be available during 90 minute sessions to ensure they don’t get too busy – slots can be booked up to a week in advance on the Manx Sport and Recreation website.
