Landscape pool slide

A method for installing a modular swimming pool slide for integration with landscaping elements, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing an upper slide shell segment, a lower slide shell segment, and at least one intermediate slide shell segment;
• joining the upper, lower, and intermediate slide shell segments in series so that the intermediate slide shell segment is connected between the lower slide shell segment and the upper slide shell segment;
• and
• installing the joined slide shell segments adjacent a pool by disposing a support kit between the upper slide segment and a surface adjacent the pool such that the upper slide shell segment is supported at a higher elevation than the lower slide shell segment, and such that the intermediate slide shell segment is suspended above the surface adjacent the pool, by the upper and lower slide shell segments, and such that all the slide shell segments are positioned and aligned in such a way as to define a single flume for receiving and guiding a human rider along an upper section of the flume formed in the upper slide shell segment and guiding the rider along an intermediate section of the flume formed into the intermediate slide shell segment, and into the adjacent pool via a lower section of the flume formed in the lower slide shell segment.
