For Now and the Future
The wave pool at Kandle Park & Pool in Tacoma, Wash.,— the first in the county and one of a few in the state of Washington — features 120 linear feet of zero-depth beach area for accessibility. The machines produce up to 3-foot waves in multiple configurations, yet imitating the ocean isn’t the sole purpose of this attraction. Instead, features such as a dumping bucket, the “fumbling five,” and water cannons were included to engage those not looking to hang 10. The pool also hosts swim lessons and off-hours lap swimming, which take place in four 25-meter lanes placed in the deep end.
