Piscine Molitor (also known as the Piscines Auteuil-Molitor or the Grands établissements balnéaires d'Auteuil) is an abandoned swimming pool complex located in Porte Molitor, 16th arrondissement of Paris, Île-de-France, Paris, France. It is next to the park Bois de Boulogne, and between Stade Roland Garros and Parc des Princes. The complex was built in 1929 and inaugurated by Olympic swimmers Aileen Riggin Soule and Johnny Weissmuller. The pool is known for its Art Deco designs and the popular introduction of the bikini by Louis Réard on July 5, 1946. The pool was classified as a French monument historique on March 27, 1990, after having fallen into disuse and closing in 1989.]]>

Devil's Pool, bathing on the edge of Victoria Falls

Devil's Pool, bathing on the edge of Victoria Falls
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]

Devil's Pool is a natural rock pool on the edge of the Victoria Falls, located along the Zambezi River on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. During the dry season, Devil's Pool is shallow enough that people can safely swim right to the edge before the waterfall drops more than 300 feet (100m).

You don't get swept down by the force of the falls because of a natural rock wall just below the surface. This is as close as you can get to the thunderous roar and permanent rainbows that adorn this magnificent Natural World Wonder.

Jacob's Well karstic spring
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: Dania
@ 2011-10-24 11:28:56
Jacob's Well is a significant karstic spring, the largest perennial spring in the Texas Hill Country. It flows from the most extensive underwater cave in Texas, opening in the bed of Cypress Creek, a few miles North of Wimberley, Texas. The twelve foot (four meter) diameter mouth of the cave serves as a popular swimming and water recreation spot for the local land owners whose properties adjoin Cypress Creek.

From the opening in the creek bed, Jacob's Well descends vertically for about thirty feet (ten meters), continuing from there at an angle as a series of chambers separated by narrow, often deeply silted and unstable necks, ultimately reaching a depth of at least one hundred-twenty feet (forty meters). From the dawn of recorded history until the modern era, the Trinity Aquifer-fed natural artesian spring gushed water from the mouth of the cave and as much as thirty feet (ten meters) into the air.

Documented flow in 1924 was one hundred-seventy gallons per second (six hundred-forty liters per second), discharging six feet (two meters) into the air. This spring is the most visible source of Cypress Creek, and a source of water recharging the Edwards Aquifer.

Hamilton Pool Preserve is a natural pool that was created when the dome of an underground river collapsed due to massive erosion thousands of years ago. The pool is located about 23 miles west of Austin, Texas off Highway 71. Since the 1960s, Hamilton Pool has been a favorite summer swimming spot for Austin visitors and residents. Hamilton Pool Preserve consists of 232 acres of protected natural habitat featuring a jade green pool into which a 50-foot waterfall flows. The pool is surrounded by huge slabs of limestone that rest by the water's edge; large stalagtites grow from the ceiling high above.]]>

"Named for the family who donated the property to the city in 1916, Schmuck Park is a destination park featuring a large covered picnic area with stone fireplace, a smaller covered area, restrooms, drinking fountains, a playground, sand volleyball court, horse shoe pit, tennis court and acres of green grass and mature shade trees. The municipal swimming pool and skatepark are located at the south end of the park. The school's track and football fields are also a part of Schmuck Park and are adjacent to the south end of the park. The park can accommodate large groups and is often the site of class and family reunions, school and youth events and Chamber events."

In Spring 2010, the city had planned to demolish the pool and rebuild a new one because over time it had been sinking into the Palouse River.]]>

he public swimming baths at Dun Laoghaire originally date from the 1790s but were removed in 1836 when the railway line was built.

In 1843 the new Royal Victorian Baths were built beside Scotman’s Bay. They were extremely popular and Dun Laoghaire became of the best and most popular places in Ireland to bathe. There was a range of bathing options including sea and fresh water, hot and cold baths. Children had their own pond and paddling pools and there was medical baths. These included sulphur, seaweed and Russian and hot sea-water. Moderate charges helped to increase their popularity as well as the fact that they were maintained to a high standard. Service was excellent and included the provision of hot towels if required. There was a tea- room nearby providing refreshments for the bathers. Buses and trains offered a regular means of transport to and from Dun Laoghaire.]]>

These Baths were built in the nineteenth century and much used until late in the last century have become somewhat of an eyesore on the DART Line with dilapidation and graffiti. There is uncertainty surrounding the safety of bathing in sea water baths filled from the Irish Sea, as distinct from swimming in the open sea itself, due to the continued operation of Sellafield in Great Britain.

The Blackrock baths have fallen into dilapidation since their closure and have been sold to developers Treasury Holdings, who have raised the possibility of building high-rise apartments on the site.]]>

From: http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/tabid/6153/default.aspx

"Castalia State Fish Hatchery is located on 90 acres in western Erie County, just southwest of Sandusky, Ohio. This facility is the newest of the six hatcheries and came on-line in the fall of 1997 after it was purchased from private interests. The hatchery production facilities consist of eight indoor rearing troughs and three outdoor raceways. Nine of these raceways are supplied with water from one of the area’s many blue-hole aquifers (2,500 gallons per minute capacity). Because the water from the blue hole has no oxygen and high levels of nitrogen, it is treated before being used by the hatchery. The remaining two raceways are supplied with water diverted from Cold Creek (10,000 gallons per minute capacity). This cold water supply allows the hatchery to raise steelhead and rainbow trout. All of the state’s steelhead production occurs at this hatchery. Rainbow trout are raised to catchable size before being stocked in Ohio lakes in both the spring and fall. The facility offers great wildlife viewing opportunities and also offers a limited lottery-style fishing program on the portion of Cold Creek that runs through the hatchery grounds. To get to the hatchery, take SR 269 south off of SR 6 and then go 2 miles. Turn left on Heywood Rd.; after one mile, turn right on Homegardner Rd. and the hatchery is 200 feet on the right."]]>

At least for now the LL aerial view still shows the park in its entirety with water still in it.

The Knap Swimming Pool, Barry's "Jewel in the Crown". This was the largest and one of the best known outdoor swimming pools in the country, with at one time a water polo team, a swimming club and a lifeguard club, with a combined membership of over 250.

This was built in the 1920s by unemployed workers on a docket system, with funds from the Unemployed Grants Committee. The Lake and Pool was built on the bed of the old Cadoxton River which flowed from the Watchtower Bay end of the pool, towards Bindles, joining the brook which used to run through Romilly Park and out to sea at the Pebble Beach.

The Knap Pool was built as a tidal pool, designed to be filled at high tide by means of a sluice gate, which opened when the pressure of the water outside the pool was greater than pressure of the water in the pool. This system was discontinued when a gas engine was installed, allowing water to be pumped into the pool at high tide. This pump was installed at the deep end near the diving boards. The pool is one of the largest open-air pools in Britain, is 120 yards long and 30 yards wide, and contains over 1,000,000 gallons of water.

On its completion the pool at the shallow end was surrounded by changing rooms similar to the bathing huts at Barry Island but without wheels. The last one was removed in the 1950's.

The heyday of the pool and lake was the 50's, when over 3,000 people visited the pool daily on Bank Holiday weekends, and over 1,500 daily during the school holidays. Most of these were "locals" who considered the pool to be theirs. It was often said that "Barry Island was for Trippers, but that Porthkerry and The Knap were ours".

Construction of the world's largest crystal-clear seawater lagoon has been successfully completed. Upon execution of the last expansion stage, this lagoon –San Alfonso's signature amenity- has reached its final size, i.e., over one kilometer long, 8 hectares in surface and 2.5 million liters of water. Too big to picture? Let's put it this way: the size of the lagoon is equivalent to 6,000 regular, 8-meter long swimming pools.

Yet, size being as impressive as it is, the lagoon's highlight is the crystal-clear, tropical blue color of its water attained through leading-edge technology developed by Crystal Lagoons* , that allows to harvest, filter and permanently recirculate ocean water. Yet, there's more to it. Water temperature in summer is 26ºC , nine degrees warmer than the ocean and certainly, a characteristic all our guests appreciate.

Accordingly, San Alfonso offers the amazing experience of enjoying the Caribbean ocean in Chile 's seaside.]]>

2004 Athens Olympics Aquatic Center

@ 2007-10-03 12:35:39
The Olympic Aquatic Centre is a complex at the Athens Olympic Sports Complex, consisting of two outdoor pools and one indoor pool, that was built for the 1991 Mediterranean Games. It was refurbished and expanded for the 2004 Summer Olympics. The larger of the outdoor pools, which seats 11,500 spectators, hosted swimming and water polo events. The smaller pool, which hosted synchronized swimming, sat 5,300 fans. The indoor pool, which hosted the diving events, sat 6,200 observers.

The outdoor pool was the subject of significant controversy during the run-up to the Olympic games. A roof was planned that would have shielded the swimmers from the blazing Athens sun was later scrapped, leaving the athletes and most of the fans without shade during the events; however, during the course of the games, there were no major complaints made by the athletes regarding the facility, nor was there any mention of the lack of a roof affecting athletes' performances - in fact, many Olympic and world records were broken and/or set in this FINA-approved, world-class venue.]]>

The field officially closed as a NAAS in 1946, and was used as an outlying field. The Navy tore down most of the temporary wartime buildings in the 1950’s, but continued to use the hangars for parts storage for the next 10 years. The remainder of the base, including the seaplane water ramp area by the bay, is now the Navy's Blue Angel Recreation Park.
