A Tarzan rope, specifically in the context of indoor swimming pools as described, is a recreational device that operates like a pendulum, used for swinging over the water.
In this specific application:
- Mechanism: It functions on the principle of a pendulum.
- Fulcrum: The pivot point is mounted in one of the roof's supporting structures.
- Location of Fulcrum: This mounting point is situated above the water surface, roughly 3–5 meters inside the pool edge.
- Launch Point: The rope is typically held and initiated from a point in its arc at the edge of the deck, which serves as the launching point for the user.
Essentially, users grab the rope from the deck, swing out over the water like a pendulum, and then release to drop into the pool. This setup allows for a swinging motion before entering the water.
While the term "Tarzan rope" might refer to various types of ropes used for swinging or climbing in other contexts, the provided reference details its specific design and operation within the environment of an indoor swimming pool.
