A water sprinkler includes a base configured to rest on a surface, a barrel assembly, a primary fluid inlet, and a plurality of nozzle structures. The barrel assembly is rotatably supported by the base and defines a plurality of fluid channels, each fluid channel extending from a corresponding fluid inlet of a plurality of fluid inlets to a corresponding fluid outlet of a plurality of fluid outlets. The primary fluid inlet is supported by the base and is configured to be fluidly coupled to a selected fluid inlet by rotating the barrel assembly to a position that aligns the selected fluid inlet with the primary fluid inlet. The plurality of nozzle structures is supported by the barrel assembly. Each nozzle structure (i) is configured to sealingly engage at least one fluid outlet of the plurality of fluid outlets, and (ii) defines an outlet opening configured to emit a fluid flow.
