The sun deck: The Wave Pool is surrounded by a half-acre sun deck covered in Astro-turf.
Safety First: Patrons are advised that swimming in a wave pool is more strenuous than in a flat-water pool. Only strong swimmers should go beyond waist-deep water. Parents should supervise their children at all times.
The waves are operated on a cycle of 10 minutes on, 10 minutes off.
