Which Waterpark For Kids That Can't Swim

[My2BabiesLexis&Dill]

Just curious as to which waterpark to go with teens that DOES NOT know how to swim.

Other than the deep end of the big wave pool at Typhoon Lagoon, a teen non-swimmer can enjoy most of the Disney waterparks unless they are much smaller than average. The water isn't that deep. Perhaps someone here knows the depth of the landing pools for the various slides, etc?

Have fun!

All the landing dephs are 3.5 to 4 ft deep at most. Other than the wave pools at both parks and the T-Bar pool at BB, everything is 4ft or under. You can also rent lifejackets for free w/a form of ID.

I would be wary about taking kids to a waterpark that can't swim. Most YMCAs around the country are starting their summer swim sessions about now. Not a bad idea, not just for WDW Waterparks, but for the rest of their lives.

Disney will let you use a life vest for your non-swimmer for free, you just have to leave a picture ID.

The family slide at Blizzard Beach is much better than the one at Typhoon lagoon. That's something you can do together.

Both parks have a children's area.

Floating around the lazy river at either park can be heavenly if you've been hitting the theme parks hard for the past several days.

I think both water parks sell funnel cakes - you didn't ask but I'm sure you were hoping that was the case.

You can use the life vests for the snorkel experience at Typhoon lagoon and there is an area with windows for viewing the fish while remaining out of the water.

Just curious as to which park has the most Lions and Tigers for teen that taste JUST LIKE chicken, and loves to jump over fences and swim motes?

Sorry for the bad joke above, but as a life guard (back in my college days) the title of your post gave me a mini heart attack. So many people have close calls in water 3 to 4 feet deep (panic can take over), its not even funny

Please get some lessons first

I would be wary of taking anyone who couldn't swim to a waterpark. Coming off some of those slides can be disorienting so if you don't know what to do, you can get into trouble quickly.

As a former lifeguard I won't even think of bringing a teen who couldn't swim to a water park. 3ft of water is as dangerous as 10ft of water. You can drowned in both. From my many years of experience teens that can't swim panic faster then a toddler who can't swim.
