Shot on 8mm film in 1953, this vintage home movie captures a person swimming in a backyard pool in Yonkers, New York. The swimmer, wearing a dark swimsuit, moves through the turquoise water with a freestyle stroke, their arms extending and pulling through the surface. The footage shows the pool's white coping and a depth marker, with another person partially visible at the edge. The image has the characteristic grain, color shift, and soft focus of mid-century amateur film, evoking a nostalgic, sun-drenched summer day.
