Life Before the Lawyers Took Over
That floating dive platform looks like a lot of fun. I can't remember the last time I saw a diving board at a public beach or pool, never mind a high-dive platform.
Potomac Beach
Does anyone know if you can still swim here? And how to get there?
[With a time machine. The Washington bathing beaches are no more. - Dave]

Great job catching the person diving off the platform- and is that man eating a Baby Ruth?
Wow
That beach looks like so much fun! How did they get the water to go through the sprayer on the right? The silhouette of the man diving is brilliant!
