A transformation is found and, using this, the non-linear system of equations describing the spatial oscillations of a thin layer of liquid in a spinning circular parabolic basin is reduced to the conventional equations of the model of shallow water over a level fixed bottom. This transformation is obtained by analyzing the properties of the symmetry of the equations of motion of spinning shallow water. The existence of non-trivial symmetries in the case of the model considered enabled group multiplication of the solutions to be carried out. Using the known steady-state rotationally symmetric solution, a class of time-periodic solutions is obtained that describes the non-linear oscillations of the liquid in a circular paraboloid with closed or quasiclosed (ergodic) trajectories of the motion of the liquid particles.
