Abstract
A water slide for a recreational pool or other body of water, the water slide being in a spiral configuration with a runway or flume down the spiral and into the pool. The water slide also includes a fountain, which may be centrally located within the spiral slide flume, that produces an upward and outward water spray pattern with an outer envelope that may be sized to correspond to an outer diameter or given outer extent of the spiral slide flume such that the water spray from the fountain falls substantially onto the water slide runway as opposed to on the pool deck.
