Southampton residents can once again take on the ultimate pool-based challenge as AquaWarrior returns to BH Live Active, The Quays in Southampton.

The popular inflatable obstacle course is back as part of the centre's public swimming programme, giving visitors the opportunity to test their balance, strength and agility across a series of exciting challenges designed to get hearts racing and make a splash.

Packed with obstacles including the Basher Wall, Cliff Hanger, Giant Causeway, Mangle, Roller and Drop Slide, AquaWarrior encourages participants to climb, crawl, balance and slide their way across the course before making a splash at the finish line.

Suitable for children aged five and above, AquaWarrior offers an exciting activity for families, friends and groups looking for a fun and active experience in the water*. AquaWarrior is ideal for friendly competition, whether visitors are racing against the clock, challenging friends or simply seeing who can make it across the course without an unexpected dip.

As part of BH Live Active’s membership benefits, BH Live Active Junior members can redeem one free AquaWarrior session every week, while other members receive 20% off AquaWarrior sessions during term time

Alongside public sessions, AquaWarrior will soon be available as a party package, giving children the chance to celebrate special occasions with friends and family. With party packages coming soon, party bookings will include 55 minutes of action-packed AquaWarrior fun, followed by 45 minutes for self-catered party food in a dedicated area.

AquaWarrior sessions can be booked online via the BH Live website or app up to seven days in advance, while party bookings can be made up to seven months ahead.
