Vests of many colors

At the Disney water parks, vests are available for free but you have to ask for them. At Aquatica, they are just out and about, and in fact you'll find more than one location for them. Two of the more visible locations are next to the entrances for Roa's Rapids, since this experience is more enjoyable and relaxing if you're wearing a vest.

Roa's Rapids

We call it the Crazy River because it's like a lazy river, but with actual rapids. Normally that would be a nonissue, but in this case it matters because you aren't in a raft. You're just floating along!

You could elect to rely on your swimming skills alone, but most visitors will grab one of the free floatation vests nearby.

With a vest, you get the odd sensation of both action (the rapids) and relaxation (since you don't have to work to stay afloat).

This is a point of view (POV) shot of one of the rapids sections.
