I'm 17 years old going on 18 this summer and I am exactly five feet tall, I don't know how to swim!! :'(
I plan on visiting hurricane harbor this summer with friends and would like to know exactly how deep is the water from the large water slides and even the smaller ones?
I have been on water slides before with local water parks but the depth of the water i landed in was only 4 feet high.
So, I just want to know how deep is the water at six flags and is it safe for a non swimmer like me?|||Depends. The higher the slide, the deeper the water for safety of impact. Every water park will have lifeguards at the bottom of the slide to aid you in need of emergency, or even if you're slightly disoriented and just need help getting on your feet. As a lifeguard myself, I get extremely pissed when people who can't swim go into deep water where they can't stand and I have to save a grown person because they're stupid. My advice, have fun, go on some slide, but for God's sake stay out of the wave pools or lazy rivers. This may be far fetched, but you know, you could just learn how to swim, It's not rocket science.|||It is extremely safe!
You can request to wear a life jacket if you want to go on the more deep water sections. It is safe for a non swimmer like you, and at all times there will be a life guard at each pool section to make sure for your safety,
The deepest is probably 6 - 8 feet, but of course, there will always, always, ALWAYS be a life guard right on the edge of the pool.
Most large water slides are body slides, which means you aren't really suppose to use a tube, but you may be able to use a life jacket to help keep you on the surface of the water.
Also, try to learn how to swim the same summer you go. There are a lot of you tube videos on how to swim. It's okay if you don't, but try to have just a bit of an idea on how to swim, it doesn't matter if you don't totally know how.
Good luck! :)|||Well Most of the rides dont end in a pool of water, But some do, most of the pools at the end of the rides are about 5'0 so you should be able to stand. They do have life vests If you would want to use those, If you go on there website they should tell you how tall the pool is! Have fun!!|||Most of the pools at the end of the waterslides are around 3 to 3 1/2 feet deep. The wave pools usually go up to 6 or 8 feet, but you can't get to the deep end wall of the wave pool because it is usually roped off.
