Pool Slide Water Ports Scratch people

[wjr75]

Hi Guys,
We have a pool slide that I'm not sure of the type but attached a photo. The water ports on the sides are like a cheese grater. We have had two people get scratched when going down and rubbing on them. Are there any caps or new ports that won't scratch people?

Thanks!

Got a closeup of the ports?

Here is a close up.

If the holes in the ports are just jagged or sharp I'd sand them with some fairly fine sand paper (~220 grit) to smooth up the edges.
