Shot on 8mm film in 1953, this vintage home movie captures a teenager swimming in a backyard pool. The swimmer, wearing a dark swimsuit, performs a backstroke, their arms moving rhythmically through the blue water. The footage shows natural film grain, slight color fading, and a handheld camera perspective, with the pool's edge visible in some frames. The swimmer floats briefly, turning to face the camera with a relaxed expression. This authentic slice of mid-century American life offers nostalgic, archival footage of youth recreation and summer leisure.
Minors are visible. A sensitive-use review is required before commercial use.
