I've seen pictures of slides at amusement parks that end in the water. The slide goes down and into the water, so when you slide down, at the end, you're at the bottom of a shallow (maybe 1-2' deep) pool area.
Has anyone ended a slide at the bottom of a shallow area like that in their pool instead of having the slide end above the water?
There are several reasons I've been thinking about doing this, including that, for young grandkids, they can slide down into a place where they can stand, instead of into an area with a safety envelope at least 4' deep. I was thinking of putting the slide at one end of a tanning ledge so the bottom of the slide lines up with the bottom of the pool, about 18" deep. (And, yes, I know I need a long section after the slide with a smooth area for people to slide on when they slide off the slide end!)
