It is our Guest’s responsibility to know and understand their own physical limitations, capabilities and swim ability before engaging in activity at the waterpark. If you are “non-athletic” in nature or overweight for your body type, we urge you to use caution when choosing which activities, you choose to participate in at the waterpark.

We strongly recommend all guests under 48” who are weak swimmers or non-swimmers wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket. We offer FREE of charge life jackets throughout Runaway Rapids Waterpark. WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE? Bathing suits are required for all water attractions in the water park. There are two reasons why proper bathing attire is necessary at Runaway Rapids Waterpark: Safety – bathing suits are lightweight and are made to not absorb a lot of water, making it much easier for a person to swim. If a person is wearing clothes other than a bathing suit, it can hamper the rescue and endanger the life of the individual or lifeguard. Hygiene – typically bathing suits are only worn to swim in and not for other activities. Street clothing or other clothing such as underclothes can introduce bacteria into the water. Street clothing can also introduce much more detergent and dirt as well as dyes into the water which can also make it unsafe for people to swim in. Appropriate swimwear means suits designed specifically for swimming, made of synthetic materials such as polyester, nylon, and Lycra or spandex. Below is a list of clothing that is NOT considered “Appropriate Swimwear”: Workout Shorts T-Shirts Pants of all kinds including sweatpants and jeans (including cut off shorts) Cover Ups Sports Bras All other clothing that is not specifically made for swimming Swimsuits with rivets, buckles, zippers or exposed metal are not allowed. Hair Clips and Sunglasses are not recommended and should be worn at your own risk. WHAT IS THE DIAPER POLICY? For the safety of all of our guests, diapers are not permitted in any pool.
