Once upon a swimming pool

MAKE CERTAIN YOU SCROLL DOWN TO THE FOURTH PHOTO - YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE

The Icon has posted these photo previously, but it's summer and let's go back to the Buckeye.

Here's three color views of Buckeye quarry, where swimming was once a Bluffton summer experience. Paul Diller snapped these photos.

The pool was on the east side of the Buckeye. It is included a bath house, baby pool, larger pool going to 6 feet, and the Buckeye quarry for persons who could pass a swim test. The Buckeye had three diving boards.

Made in the shade

There are several ways to keep cool in Bluffton this summer. Among the most popular is to stand under the mushroom at the Bluffton Community Swimming Pool. As the second photo in this series shows, another way to keep cool is to go down the slide at the pool. (It's standing room only.)
