Underwater Pig3531 viewsTo take the swimming Tamworth pig photo, the pig had to be gently pushed into the heated pool. Marjorie, in full SCUBA gear and with an underwater camera and strobe, waited for the pig to, er, fall. I was surprised at how quickly the pig sank. He then soared to the surface, like a submarine in a Sean Connery movie that's blown its ballast.Oct 02, 2005

Our Own Ralph7527 viewsBy far the most popular attraction was Ralph, the Swimming Pig. Ralph swam around Aquarena Springs performing tricks and dives until the early 1990s when he retired. A picture of "Ralph the Diving Pig" and the woman he performed with was published in Chic magazine. The woman successfully sued Larry Flynt for presenting her in a 'false light' because the story appeared 'amid stories of bizarre sexual exploits.' Braun v. FlyntSep 30, 2005

Greg and Emilia Try To Lure the Swimming Pig Back Home1290 viewsAfter his romp in the pool, the swimming Tamworth pig wanted to mooch around the garden. He clearly wasn't going anywhere on a halter. So we took it off and lured him back (more or less successfully) to his pig friends with a bucket of feed and some apples.Sep 30, 2005

How Do You Get a Pig in the Pool1513 viewsWe tried to walk him with a halter, but pigs don't like walking with a halter. We put him in the small trailer and when we opened the back gate --- well, he just sort of jumped into the water.Sep 30, 2005

"I Didn't Know Pigs Could Swim."5147 viewsI was given a book called The Ubiquitous Pig by my father in 1993.

Here's our own version, with Barbara and a Tamworth.Sep 30, 2005
