PRHA archive photo #0432- Stone, enhanced by Thomas Mercer-Hursh Celebrating Our New Plunge! Financed by a bond issue, the Richmond Natatorium (aka The Plunge) opened for business in 1926 with grand ceremonies as a “state of the art” swimming pool. For the next 70 years it was a destination for thousands of area residents to get together and have good, healthy fun together. Unfortunately it closed in 1997 when it was deemed to be unsafe in the event of on earthquake. Fortunately, there were enough good people around who were determined to Save The Plunge and started a trust to do just that. And they did. Thirteen years after it closed and eighty four years after it opened as 1926 “state of the art” swimming pool it opens again as today’s “state of the art” swimming pool. Thank you to all of you in the Save the Richmond Plunge Trust and all of those many people who made this beautiful swimming pool a reality. A special thank you to leaders Architect Todd Jersey, Rosemary Corbin, June Albonico and Sandi Genser-Maack.
