Is this the same pool in Santa Monica, California I visited in 1977?

Thanks Mike.

First of all, I love this blog.

Second of all, my former coach Al Luber showed us videos like these that he had. We saw one once that had a swing ring set, a high bar, a diving board I think, and a small water slide. The swing rings and high bar were the most fun to watch though. I remember the pool was more T-shaped. We might have seen this video too, not sure though.

Morons. I’m surprised no one pinged and ended up in a wheel-chair for the rest of their life.

Those guys are crazy. Looks fun but the whole “I may land across the block if i mess up” makes me nervous.

I believe this is Mark Davis’s pool Rick. The good old days…

This was in the days before foam pits. … Some were prepping for swinging rings where the landing was a “bunch of guys” trying to catch you, landing on sand.
