hurricane harbor: how deep is the water is in each of the water rides in Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in Chicago? My family and I are going there this July and my little sister and I cant swim.. :/|||On most of the slides, the water is 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 feet deep. The wave pool is deeper, but it is separated in sections that are clearly labeled with the depth (ours goes to 6 feet but it depends on the park). The Lazy River is also at the shallow mark. If you can't swim, you HAVE to wear a lifevest on all of the slides, in the wave pool, and in the lazy river. It doesn't matter if you can stand up in the water or not, the lifevests are mandatory if you can't swim. The lifevests are free of charge for non swimmers and they have adult, teen, and children's sizes.|||Most pools are about 3 to 4 1/2 feet deep. The wave pools start out at zero depth entries and go up 7,8 or 10 feet deep ( but you usually can not reach the deepest end of the wave pool because it is roped off. The depths are clearly marked (OSHA (or whatever) requires it). The lifeguards will tell you if you ask. Also, they have life jackets (usually free) for non swimmers to use. Life jackets are on a first come first serve basis. Some places require all children under 48" ( or a specified height) to use life jackets, regardless of swimming abilities.|||Water slides are designed with the run-off 'horizontal', so the pools don't need to be deep. 4+1/2 feet deep is about how deep the water is. Except for the wave pool which is wider and deeper. "Any guests not confident in their swimming abilities should use life vests, a limited number of which are available free of charge, near Aruba Tuba Rentals." http://www.sixflags.com/greatAmerica/rid…|||probably not verry deep you should probably get swimming lessons, most people know hwo to swim by when they turn four ish|||Oh,somewhere between 10 and 20,000 leagues
