DUBUQUE NATATORIUM. Natatoriums became popular in the 1880s in the United States. [[CARNEGIE, Andrew\|Andrew CARNEGIE]] spent $25,000 for a parcel of land in Duquesne, Pennsylvania in 1896 in preparation for the construction of a gymnasium and natatorium (swimming pool) for his employees. (1) The Omaha World Herald, stated in 1899 that it believed Omaha was the only city with more than 150,000 people which had neither a natatorium, free baths, or a decent bathing place. (2)

			Dubuque boasted a natatorium as early as 1884. The area allowed up to 200 people to use the facility which also had suspended rings and a "spring board." A wash tub was used to occasionally tow a timid person around before being dunked. In the evening, "Hud," the humorist jeweler, leaped from the spring board "causing waves that almost touched the gallery. (3) Evenings for social swimming for men and women at the "Nat" were changed from Monday to Friday in August 1885. (4) Only season and special ticket holders could attend. Strangers had to "procure an introduction" before they could purchase a ticket and men had to be accompanied by a female. (5)

			In 1900 a new natatorium in the [[ICE HARBOR]] was expected to be opened on May 15th The tank was constructed in such a way to that it promised a constant source of fresh water. (6)
