School holidays and Summer sunshine come together to create the perfect conditions for families to get into Melton Waves Leisure Centre to cool off on a fun day out. Photographer Damjan Janevski visited this week to photograph the action.

Next week, on January 16 Melton Waves will have extra kids activities for kids to enjoy.

Between 12.30pm and 2.30pm the 25m pool will host the Tarzan rope swing and an inflatable floating obstacle course for extra action. The wave pool will also have waves running every 30 minutes to add to the fun.
