The most common type of pool slide is a straight slide. It starts up high and angles down into the water. A taller slide allows you to add more gradient to the slide or to make the slide length. When you ride this slide, you slide straight from the top and into the swimming surface at the bottom. These slides need a big footprint as a longer slide will mean that you need more space at the side of your swimming pool.
A straight leg slide is similar to a straight slide, but at the bottom, there is a slight curve before the slide hits the water. The curve at the bottom makes the slide more fun, and it is a slide which is enjoyed by smaller children. The curve takes away some of the speed from the rider before they get into the swimming pool, but it also disorientates them a little to create a bigger splash when they get in.
A molded leg slide is similar to a straight leg slide, but the curve is more curved and steeper. The curve at the end can cure to the right or the left. The height of the slide can also be as high as you want to create more speed and more fun.
An elephant leg slide comes in two varieties. The first is a shape that curves around a central post. If you start at the top, you will complete a loop of two loops before you hit the water. This type is not as fast as a straight slide, so it is better for your get kids. The second design can be a straight slide or a curved slide, and the main difference between these slides and this one is that the slide starts steep and flattens out near the end. This slide generates a lot of speed which is usually maintained until you hit the water.
