here goes.

Does anyone know where one might go to go swimming if the weather allows us such frivolties while we are at the rally?

Water parks are the preferred venue for the Mrs and I.

TIA

Just ride north of the rally site approx. 300 miles to Kings Island(near Cinn,OH) for a great water park...

This place looks like it should have a beach

I was thinking the same thing and your post made me do an internet search. I was really looking for a lake or river with a free beach or a city park with a kiddie pool.
Maybe one of the locals will respond with information.

Despite what many Yankees may think, we are not devoid of culture in the South.

Is this along the lines of what you were thinking about:

There is one in Jonesborough, TN about 20 miles or so from the rally. Jonesborough is located on hwy. 11E and the water park is a few miles south of town directly off 11E.

The bad thing about hotel pools is that everyone pees in the pool.

You both could volunteer for the Dunk Tank!!!

Yikes, the dollywood water park is not cheap
one day pass Regular (Ages 12 - 59) $43.60 so for two adults it nearly $100 to swim.
Is there anywhere that you can swim for free? Public beach at the river maybe?
Just wondering.
The Wetlands at Jonesborough is reasonable at Adults (13 years and up) $11.

Thanks Jason!
I had done some searching but was not having much luck. You got me pointed to the right place and I found the Boone Reservoir. About a mile or so from the rally site. Appears to be a free beach! Which is just my style.
Go approximately 1 mile, cross the Holston River and turn right at the Reservoir sign.

Thanks again.
