Know Before You Slide: Height & Safety Rules for Las Dunas’ Five-Tower Water Slides

Planning a pool day with the family? A few minutes learning the Height & Safety Rules for Las Dunas’ Five-Tower Water Slides can save you from tears at the top of the stairs and ensure every run ends with a smile. Below you’ll find the exact height requirements, who can ride where, and practical safety tips—so you can line up with confidence and enjoy the Aquapark to the fullest.

The quick answer: who can ride which slide?

Las Dunas’ main slide tower has two platforms and five slides. Here’s how access works:

• Children’s pool (separate area): Three small slides are for kids only; adults are not permitted.
• Family slide (lower platform): Open to everyone; small children must be accompanied by an adult. Every rider must be able to swim.
• Two mid-size slides (lower platform): Minimum height 110 cm; riders go individually and must be able to swim.
• Two big slides (upper platform): Minimum height 120 cm; riders go individually and must be able to swim.

Important for all five tower slides:

• Flotation aids are not allowed on the slides (including armbands/floaties).
• Follow the lifeguards’ instructions at all times.
• Every rider must be able to swim to use any of the five slides.

Why these rules matter

• The main pool depth ranges from 0 cm at the ramp to 130 cm near the slide exits, which is why swimming ability is required. The toddler pool is up to 40 cm deep for gentle play.
• Lifeguards are on duty in the pool complex to supervise safety, but the first layer of protection is choosing the right slide for each rider.
• Slide-specific height thresholds help ensure riders can maintain a stable posture and exit the splash zone safely.

Safety first: how the Aquapark is set up for a safe, fun day

• Exclusive access for guests: The Aquapark is free to use for registered campsite guests and not open to outside visitors. It operates throughout the entire camping season.
• Active supervision: Multiple lifeguards supervise the pool area, managing slide dispatch and swimmer safety. Always wait for their signal and instructions.
• Clear water depths: With a 0–130 cm depth profile in the main pool and 40 cm in the toddler pool, families can choose zones that match their swimmers’ confidence.
• Accessibility: An amphibious wheelchair with large air tyres is available free of charge; ask a lifeguard. Thanks to the pool access ramp, an accompanying person can help roll the user into the water.

Slide-by-slide: detailed rules and tips

Children’s pool slides (kids only)

• Designed specifically for young children.
• Adults are not allowed to use these three slides, preserving a calm, kid-scale zone.
• Pair this area with the water-spray park for gentle, confidence-building fun.

Family slide (lower platform)

• Open to all ages, with small children accompanied by an adult.
• Every rider must be able to swim, even on the family slide.
• Remove any flotation aids before sliding; they’re not permitted on any slide.

Mid-size slides (lower platform)

• Minimum height: 110 cm.
• Single riders only; no tandem sliding.
• Strong swimmers will find these a great step up from the family slide.

Big slides (upper platform)

• Minimum height: 120 cm.
• Individual riders only—no accompanying adult.
• Expect faster speeds and a deeper splashdown; confident swimming is essential.

Practical tips to make your slide session smooth

1. Measure at home. Check your child’s height before you arrive to set the right expectations for each platform.
2. Match the zone to the swimmer. Start with the toddler pool and water-spray park for little ones; move to the family slide when they’re ready and can swim.
3. Swim-first mindset. Practice short swims to the pool edge so kids are comfortable after splashdown.
4. Ditch the floaties for slides. Flotation aids (including armbands) are not allowed on any of the five slides. If your child uses them elsewhere in the pool, remove them before queuing to avoid last-minute disappointment.
5. Follow lifeguard signals. Wait for the go-ahead at the slide entry; it keeps dispatch safe and lines moving.
6. Sun-smart setup. A guest review notes there’s no shade around the pool area, so bring hats, UV shirts, and sunscreen, and schedule shade breaks.
7. Hydrate and snack smart. Keep water handy and take short rests between runs.
8. Plan for accessibility. If needed, request the amphibious wheelchair at the pool and bring a companion to assist on the ramp.
