That would be the one and only Ralph the Swimming Pig!:)

Well, not exactly one and only. They had many many Ralphs over the years. I guess that's why the price of pork was always so low in San Marcos for so long.

Is that place even open anymore? The swimming pig and getting our pictures taken in old fashion clothes is all I remember about it!

Unfortunately, Aquarena Springs was purchased by the University in 1996. Ralph continued to do shows for about 2 years after that, but then SWT closed it down:(

As of about 4 years ago it was still there. We went hoping to see the pig and such (as I remembered as a child), but to our dismay, it was no more.:( They did have the glass bottom boat that you could ride and see fish and spring water coming out of the ground.
