The Australian and New Zealand term for what North Americans call a water slide — those slick, twisting, adrenaline-packed chutes at pools, waterparks, and holiday resorts where you hurl yourself down a stream of fast-moving water and try not to lose your togs at the bottom. Hydroslide is the standard everyday word for this beloved summer fixture in Aussie and Kiwi culture, where a good hydroslide is practically a public amenity.
The kids spent the entire afternoon on the hydroslide at the aquatic centre, refusing to leave until the lifeguards started packing up.
