How To Create A Custom Lazy River

To start building a lazy river, you’ll need a pool. This can start with a premade pool or a large custom pool. From there, you’ll want to use the custom path pool tool and design a winding river for guests to drift down.

Don’t make the lazy river too long, or guests may not reach the end!

Make sure to connect both ends so the water jet tab will unlock, allowing you to adjust the settings until desired so you can curate the best experience for your guests. In addition to the pool itself, you’ll want guests to purchase pool rings so they can float.

Make sure to place a Splash Emporium Shop Facility nearby so that guests can browse items and purchase what they need to enjoy the new lazy river.

Keep in mind that guests may not use the lazy river as intended. You may have them treat it like a standard pool, but you can work around this by altering the depth of the pool and encouraging them to purchase pool rings with competitive pricing!

Be sure to decorate the lazy river with plenty of scenery and shops nearby so that they interact with the pool area. Also, hire some extra lifeguards to watch the area in case anyone gets stuck – safety first!
