1. A water misting and evaporative cooling system, comprising: an elongate stationary member having a bore therein; a water hose fitting within the bore of the stationary member for receiving an end of a water hose; one or more conduits each in fluid communication with the water hose and extending radially outward from the stationary member; a rotatable sleeve secured to the one or more conduits and in fluid communication with the one or more conduits; a tube within the bore in the elongate stationary member and having an outer diameter substantially less than an outer diameter of the rotatable sleeve and in fluid communication with the water hose fitting and the rotatable sleeve; one or more aerating misting nozzles each at an outer end of a respective conduit, each misting nozzle receiving water from a respective conduit and having a central nozzle axis angled with respect to a central axis of a respective conduit for discharging mist while producing a tangential thrust for rotating the one or more conduits and misting nozzles about the stationary member to dispense mist into the air for cooling; one or more dynamic seals between the tube and the sleeve or between the tube and a member secured to the water hose fitting; and a rotary swivel between the one or more conduits and the elongate stationary member.
