Boy Swimming near Dock — Clip Details

Vintage 8mm home movie footage from Ocean City, New Jersey, USA, in 1968, showing a young boy swimming vigorously in a lake. The scene captures a person lounging on a wooden dock with a metal ladder while the boy swims away, creating ripples in the deep blue water. The film exhibits classic Super 8 grain, color saturation, and slight motion blur, with a dark border framing the image. This authentic slice of Americana evokes nostalgia for 1960s summer recreation and family life.

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: 1968 Ocean City, New Jersey home-movie footage suited to archive requests for mid-century summer swimming, dock recreation, and family leisure cutaways.
Period detail: The small floating dock, simple metal swim ladder, saturated blue water, and 8mm color stock may show late-1960s recreational waterfront life.
Home-movie behavior: The clip has unstaged home-movie value as a swimmer moves quickly through the water while another person casually rests on the dock.
What appears in frame: Visible elements include deep blue rippled water, a floating dock, a metal ladder, a swimmer near the platform, a reclining person, dark film borders, and contact-sheet frame edges.
Film character: The footage carries dense 8mm grain, strong color saturation, slight blur from motion, uneven exposure, and dark gate borders that mark it as scanned physical film.
Edit role: An editor could use this as a brief insert, transition, or memory beat for summer recreation, childhood swimming, or waterfront vacation sequences.
Historical context: As home-movie material, it documents ordinary leisure at a waterfront setting without supporting broader claims beyond family recreation and period swim activity.
Research note: People are visible, including a swimmer and a resting figure, so likeness review may be needed; copyright, location, and any property permissions should be assessed separately.
Research search match: Useful search phrases include 1968 Ocean City New Jersey 8mm swimming, boy swimming near dock, vintage home movie waterfront recreation, and 1960s summer swim footage.
Archive pairing path: Pair first with adjacent shots from the same reel, then with Ocean City or 1968 waterfront material, then with broader 1960s swimming and summer recreation scenes.
