Some districts want to go back to diving boards, jumping and doing flips, It's a liability again, they can hurt themselves, but this is what they want. Something more challenging for older kids. A lot of technical advances in fountains, high-tech valves and nozzles. Laminar flow water, Disney creativity. For example, taking a water jet and making it look like a glass rod.
Water features that create jets and fountains, interactive things for people.
This is nothing really new, but there's more emphasis on the family. One project is a pool that is 25 years old.

The agency can't afford to get into waterparks, yet they want to upgrade what they have.
