Safety
Wave pools are more difficult to lifeguard than still pools, and there have been drownings in a few. For example, the pool at New Jersey's now-defunct Action Park cost two lives, and kept the lifeguards busy rescuing patrons who overestimated their swimming ability. The moving water, sun glare, and other factors make them difficult for lifeguards. Computer automated drowning detection systems do not work in wave pools.
