Shot on 8mm film in 1953, this vintage home movie captures a swimmer gliding through blue water in Yonkers, New York. The footage shows a person swimming underwater, their body partially visible beneath the surface, with arms extended in a freestyle stroke. The water has a distinct turquoise hue, and the film exhibits natural grain, scratches, and slight blurriness typical of Super 8 home movies. Bubbles and ripples disturb the surface, and the swimmer's dark swimwear is visible. This authentic archival clip offers a nostalgic glimpse into mid-century recreation and personal memory.
