Woman In Red Swim Cap Swimming In Pool — Clip Details

Vintage 8mm home movie footage from Seaside, New Jersey, 1949, showing a woman in a red swim cap and dark swimsuit swimming in a clear pool. The grainy, color-bleached film captures her movements through turquoise water, with sunlight creating ripples on the surface. The footage has a nostalgic, candid quality, typical of mid-century family recordings. The woman appears to be enjoying a leisurely swim, with her arms moving through the water in a relaxed manner. The clip showcases authentic 1940s swimming attire and the characteristic look of 8mm film, including slight motion blur and natural film grain.

Archive brief fit: This clip supports 1940s home-movie and recreation requests needing a brief pool-swimming moment from Seaside, New Jersey, for documentary, educational, or editorial use.
Period detail: The red swim cap, dark swimsuit, and color 8mm home-movie texture may show mid-century leisure attire and amateur family filming style consistent with the supplied 1949 metadata.
Home-movie behavior: The footage has an unstaged family-recording feel, with swimmers moving casually through the pool rather than performing for a formal camera setup.
What appears in frame: Visible elements include turquoise pool water, a woman in a red swim cap and dark swimsuit, another swimmer partly visible, sunlit ripples, soft focus, and dark exposed water shadows.
Film character: The clip carries a physical 8mm look with soft focus, uneven exposure, visible grain, muted color, and slight motion blur that read as authentic home-movie texture.
Edit role: An editor could use this as a short insert, memory beat, summer recreation cutaway, or transition within a sequence about mid-century family leisure or seaside holidays.
Historical context: The scene visually situates swimming as informal outdoor recreation, with clothing and amateur camera handling suggesting a private leisure setting rather than a staged public event.
Research note: People are visible and faces may be partially identifiable, so likeness review is recommended separately from copyright status, while no logos, music, or clear private property identifiers are visible in these frames.
Research search match: Relevant researcher searches include 1940s 8mm swimming pool home movie, Seaside New Jersey family vacation footage, woman red swim cap vintage pool, and mid-century summer recreation film.
Archive pairing path: Pair first with adjacent footage from the same reel, then other 1949 Seaside, New Jersey material, and then broader pool, swimming, beach-town, and mid-century family leisure clips.
