Swimming Pool at a Disco?

June 20, 1980

June, 1980:  Mud wrestling was out, and Monday pool parties were in.  Activities included competitive diving for pennies, water wrestling, bikini dips, and a men’s leg contest.  Admission free to those wearing swimsuits.  (Star, June 20, 1980)  Apparently way more women were in the pool than men.
David Thomas remembers, “One night, one of the male strippers dove in and lost his G string. I was the life guard by the pool, summer splash party.”
