Abstract
There is disclosed a wave pool consisting of a pool with a wave generator at the deep end, which creates waves that advance toward the shallow end. One or more interactive waterplay elements, such as water guns, pourspouts, or playsinks, are provided near the pool. Pool guests can operate these waterplay elements to selectively direct water or other play media at other guests, or into the pool itself.
