Shot on 8mm film in 1953, this vintage home movie captures four young swimmers racing across a pool in Yonkers, New York. The grainy, blue-tinted footage shows the swimmers in mid-stroke, creating splashes as they propel themselves toward the opposite side. The pool's edge and a simple deck with benches are visible in the background, evoking a classic American recreational scene. The footage has a nostalgic, authentic feel, with natural motion and the characteristic imperfections of mid-century home movie film.
