Shot on 8mm film in 1953, this vintage home movie captures a youth swimming competition at a backyard pool in Yonkers, New York. Young male swimmers in dark swim trunks line up on white starting blocks, poised for the race. The camera follows their synchronized dive into the blue water, with one swimmer captured mid-air and others entering the pool. The scene is framed by a clothesline with towels and a house in the background, evoking a nostalgic, community sports moment from the 1950s.
