Established in the 1930s, Sam Snyder’s Water Follies was one of the world’s greatest aquatic exhibitions when it visited Wellington in 1957. Featuring diving, synchronised swimming, and water ballet displays, the Water Follies saw the build of one of the most unusual structures in the Basin Reserve’s history: a swimming pool. Snyder’s performers brought two pools with them; an 8-foot deep diving pool and a 75-foot long exhibition pool.
