Crazy idea; Whirling pool/moat around house?
I was googling around for a trip to the Loire valley of France and stumped upon all theas moats around the castles and it hit me;
How about you have a pool on the back of your house and around the entire house there is a moat?
But it's part of the pool AND it has a whirling effect so you can go in at one end of the pool, be whirled around the enitre house and back on the other side of the pool!
I know I've seen this on water parks.
But has anyone ever done this?

Im picturing some huge mansion with a lazy river/moat...with people in tubes doing laps around the house
Never put up with something high maintenance, unless it's high performance.

Surprisingly, I know a guy whos building a castle with a moat. Its not a lazy river unfortunately but still a moat. The house will also feature a round shower at the top of one of the corner towers, a dungeon, and a garage door thats a drawbridge that lowers over the moat. Im friggin jealous.
