If you were asked to travel the world, traveling over 27,000 miles a year to test out the biggest and baddest water slides for holiday resorts to check for the height, speed and quality, would you be up for it?

Tommy Lynch, 29, works for holiday giant First Choice and said, ‘I do have the best job in the world. No-one believes me when I tell them what I do.

‘Some people sit in an office all day but I get to fly all over the world and slide down flumes.  It can be a bit tough when it is chilly and you have to strip off and shoot down the flume but other than that, it is great.

‘There is so much more that goes into the flumes than people realise. The pools and slides are such an important part of the family holiday so it is vital everything is right.’

In 2008 Mr Lynch tested waterslides at holiday villages in Lanzarote, Majorca, Egypt, Turkey, the Costa Del Sol, Cyprus, Algarve, Dominican Republic and Mexico.

This year he will quality control First Choice’s new splash resorts in Greece, Turkey, Florida, Jamaica and Ibiza.
