RYEDALE has the chance to make their mark in the record books with the number of people to travel down a water slide in four hours.

Ryedale Swim and Fitness Centre, in Pickering, is trying to beat the current record of 620 on January 25, from 1.30pm to 5.30pm.

Jon Bird, contract manager at Everyone Active, said: “We really hope that with the support of the swimmers, clubs, teams and local community of Ryedale we can break the world record.

“You can go down the slide as many times as you like and hopefully we all have something to celebrate at the end of it.”

Everyone is welcome, just arrive at the Pickering centre to sign in.
