Water Trampoline Guide

You might not imagine a water trampoline located at the center of your local lake, but it's not completely unlikely that you'll find one there before too long. These kinds of trampolines are called 'water trampolines', and they're finding increasing popularity with kids and teenagers every day.

So, what are these water trampolines, and how do they work? Envision a huge, floating donut made of rubber with a diameter of 25 feet (or 8 meters). This donut is inflated, and set afloat at your favorite swimming location, such as a swimming hole or a lake. At the top and center of this donut shape, you'll find a round, large trampoline surface. In this way, the working water trampoline at is attached at its edges to the donut, and it is held up a few feet from the water's surface.

With the popularity that water parks are gaining at theme parks and resorts always increasing, companies that specialize in recreation have sought out ways to attract children and teenagers to their local rivers and lakes to swim again. While waterslides and water parks are a lot of fun for everyone, they're incredibly costly to construct, keep functional, and you can never be certain if there will be enough audience demand to justify it. If you have a family living in a smaller town, your nearest water park might be over a full day away, which is a long trip to take with kids. When you arrive there, your fun is often mitigated by long lines and huge crowds. Your solution to all of this just might be a water trampoline.

The water trampoline is a smart combination of the exercise that one gets by using a trampoline, and the fun of water sports. They're safe to use, and your kids won't have to travel very far form home to take advantage of the fun. There is also a vast variety of attachments which you can augment a water trampoline with, transforming it into your very own water park. Among these accouterments for the trampoline are water slides, dive towers, plastic logs and diving platforms to jump onto from the trampoline itself, and stairs to climb back onto the water trampoline with. These are usually constructed of safe PVC plastic, so you won't need to worry about hyperactive kids bouncing from the trampoline and onto springs or any kind of exposed metal framework.

A water trampoline can be as small as 10 feet across, and all the way up to 25 feet across in their larger sizes. Obviously, you don't inflate these using only the power of your lungs. These enormous objects need to be inflated by a specialized air pump. Since the larger trampolines can be costly, they're not really intended for someone's personal use, as much as they might be purchased by a town for use at one of its lakes. Of course, nothing is stopping you from purchasing a huge water trampoline if you can afford it!

The smaller water trampolines tend to cost around $500 or $600, if you purchase them without any additional accessories. The larger range of water trampolines which run up to 25 feet will cost somewhere around $4000. The set-up time on any of these is usually under one hour. When the water trampoline is moved to its desired location, it is them affixed to the bottom of the lake with an anchor so that it doesn't wander away to another location. After that, it's all set for fun!
