There will even be quieter zones like the beach huts and sun loungers so you can relax and unwind while watching your kids splashing around.
The £40million pool at the West Sussex camp is just one of the new attractions set to open this year.
Butlin's is also investing in new facilities, entertainment and accommodation across its resorts in Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness ahead of the start of the 2019 season in February.

Jon Hendry-Pickup, Butlin’s Managing Director, said: "The demand for a Butlin’s break in 2019 is very encouraging and we feel it shows that families want lots to keep them entertained day and night, quality accommodation and delicious food options.
"It’s what Sir Billy set out to deliver more than 80 years ago and is what our guests still value today.
"I fully appreciate why concerns over foreign travel post-Brexit, delays that holidaymakers encountered at airports and ports last year, and even the very recent issues with flight problems due to drones mean that UK families are looking for a more convenient, hassle-free break. We’re here to help with that mission."
