The Mission Beach Plunge, Southern California's Largest Indoor Heated Pool. The Mission Beach Plunge in San Diego opened in May, 1925 as the centerpiece of Belmont Park. The 60’ by 175’ pool, was at the time the largest salt-water pool in the world holding 400,000 gallons of water. The Mission Beach Plunge is the only remaining structure to survive from the original Belmont Park. It's had over 1 million people learn to swim in its pool, with swimming celebrities such as Esther Williams and Johnny Weissmuller once having performed there. This panoramic was shot with a Nikon D200 using an 18-200mm zoom VR DX lens. There were 35 photos shot on 3 rows. Web site: http://wavehouseathleticclub.com/ |
