SCHOOLBOY Matthew Legg, aged nine, has won a year’s free junior membership to the Aquasplash leisure pool in Minehead.The prize was given for choosing the best name for the pool’s new inflatable attraction in a competition run during the February half-term holiday.
Matthew, who is a pupil in Minehead First School, named the challenging new fun inflatable ‘Big Blue’.
He was presented with his membership by Aquasplash operations manager Paul Morgan, and said: “It is great to win. I am going to get really fit now.”
Mr Morgan said: “There were a lot of good entries, so we listed the suggestions and kept the names secret so that the winner could be fairly selected.
“We are delighted with the name and look forward to welcoming Matthew as a regular to the pool.”
Matthew will, under the terms of his junior membership, also be able to enrol on junior X bike sessions in the gym which are planned for half-term at a reduced rate for members.
Mr Morgan said: “The gym at Aquasplash has recently undergone a fantastic £30,000 refurbishment and Matthew will have the opportunity to enjoy the pool and, if he wishes, the brand new X bikes and television screens which bring the biking experience to life.”
Big Blue is in use at the Aquasplash pool every weekend between 12 noon and 3 pm.
