Warwick Life host Scott Nerney talks with editor George LaCross from the amusement park fan site Laff in the Dark.
The Rocky Point saltwater pool was an Olympic-sized pool at the front of the park that was filled with water from Narragansett Bay. Hear how George watched divers make painful belly flops while he cooled off in the pool, about Olympic trials and AAU competitions at the pool, how it became a freshwater pool, and why it closed in 1985.
Read about the 1936 Olympic tryouts at the pool.
