lazy river pool design
i have a friend/client who wants a small lazy river to be designed with his future pool. i can't find much out there on lazy river pools. i do know that they have to be at least 5' wide and 2'6" deep for comfort, but i don't know how much (shotcrete/rebar) reinforcement is needed so it won't crack. i also don't know how many jets-per-length i would need to maintain flow. the pool design would be a simple rectange(pool) with a smashed circle(lazy river) connected to the top. it would look similar to the "helpful tip" lightbulb icon on this forum.
  if anyone could point me in the correct direction, it would be most appreciated.
thanks,

i would think a "custom" pool designer could help.  check your local yellow pages under "pools" or do a google search.
