Water Parks for the swimming challenged

[Miss Inga Depointe]

I guess I can swim a little, but I'm just afraid of deep water - it's a phobia. My family love water parks and I love the idea of them (they look so cute).

Which one would a non-swimmer deep water phobia person have any fun at?

Either would be great. Other than the wave pools when you go out real far, neither have deep water. Most of it you could probably stand up in. Shark Reef at TL is the only area that is deep.

They do have adult life vests available. Although, to be honest, I've never seen an adult wear one. My dad isn't a swimmer. He followed the grandkids around with his camera taking pics. He did do the racing slides at BB. There is only a few inches of water on these!

Really? It's not that deep? I guess I always assumed the slides dumped you out into water over your head! I guess I could have asked my family this, but was just assuming!

I pictured me sliding in and immediately hollering to be rescued!!!

Most of the slides will dump you in 3'6" of water. So, unless you're a 3' kid, you'll be fine. Even the lazy rivers are only about 4'-5' deep. The only really deep one is the shark reef at TL, but that's because of the sharks they have to make it deeper.

My son (7yrs old, 46" tall) isn't a good swimmer either but he went on the slides and the wave pool just fine.
