A recent incident at Universal Orlando Resort has raised concerns after a guest was caught swimming in the waters near CityWalk. The behavior, which was captured and shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), involved a guest jumping into the water with their friends, an action that goes against Universal’s strict rules. The video, captioned “this kid just jumped into the water at city walk 👀,” shows a major rule break taking place.
What Happened at CityWalk?
The video, which shows the guest wading through the water, was recorded in the popular CityWalk area, an entertainment district that features a mix of shops, dining, and attractions. As one of the busiest parts of Universal Orlando Resort, CityWalk is a prime destination for visitors, but it also has very specific rules in place to ensure the safety of its guests. Swimming in the waters surrounding CityWalk is strictly prohibited.
The guest’s actions not only violated park rules but also posed potential risks, as the water around CityWalk is not monitored by lifeguards and is considered unsafe for recreational use.

Universal’s Strict Safety Protocols
Universal Orlando Resort is known for maintaining a family-friendly environment, with a focus on ensuring that all visitors have a safe and enjoyable experience. The water surrounding CityWalk is meant for aesthetic purposes and is not designed for swimming or other activities. Additionally, with the ongoing construction in the area, it is not an environment where guests should be engaging in potentially hazardous behavior.
Security teams likely responded quickly to the situation, as Universal is well known for enforcing its guest conduct policies. It is highly probable that the guest was escorted off the property and potentially issued a ban for violating park rules.
While incidents like these are not new, they highlight a growing concern about the behavior of certain visitors who disregard the rules. As theme parks see increasing crowds, the responsibility to maintain order becomes more challenging. This recent event serves as a reminder to all guests that the theme park’s guidelines exist to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment.
The company has yet to comment officially on the specific actions taken in this case, but it is expected that Universal will continue to enforce its policies to ensure a safe, enjoyable experience for all visitors. Fans of the park are hoping that incidents like these will not detract from the overall magic of the experience.
