SAN SIMEON, Calif. — The Foundation at Hearst Castle is offering a chance to swim in the California landmark's iconic pools, where Lady Gaga and Hollywood's Golden Age celebrities dipped their toes.
The foundation will allow members to pay for a swim in the outdoor Neptune Pool on four dates this year, starting in July. Two other nights are reserved at the indoor Roman Pool.
All it will cost you is $500 for a foundation membership and $950 for the swim.
Only 40 tickets will be sold for each of the Neptune Pool events and 20 tickets for each Roman Pool swim.
The Roman-themed, marble-lined Neptune Pool holds 345,000 gallons. The pool was refilled last August for the first time since 2014 when cracks caused it to leak up to 5,000 gallons a day.
The month of June is a rare chance to get an up close and personal look at planet Jupiter. But don't worry if you miss it, Bartell's Backroads takes us to Owens Valley, one of the darkest places for the perfect stargazing adventure.
