As the 1890s evolved into the Roaring '20s, people came by train, Red Car, or Model T to enjoy Redondo Beach's advertised clean water at The Plunge and the thrill of the Lightning Racer roller coaster. The Moorish-style, four-story Plunge, also known as the Bath House, was built in 1909 by Henry E. Huntington and covered 43,688 square feet of waterfront. Advertised as the largest indoor saltwater heated pool in the world, its main pool could accommodate more than 1,000 swimmers at a time, while a smaller diving pool had a tower, two boards, and a trapeze where George Freeth performed daredevil stunts. Pacific Light and Power's steam plant to the north heated the pools, and The Plunge closed in September 1941. The best view of the waterfront entertainment area came from atop the Lightning Racer, a rambling roller coaster with 6,000 feet of track between Beryl and Coral Streets on El Paseo; repaired and rebuilt many times after storm damage, it eventually succumbed to fire and storm damage by the 1930s.
