Shot on 8mm film in 1953, this vintage home movie captures a group of young swimmers racing across a public pool in Yonkers, New York. Swimmers in dark swimwear propel themselves through the turquoise water using freestyle strokes, creating splashes and ripples. The pool's edge and white lounge chairs are visible in the background, with a person briefly appearing in the foreground. The footage exhibits classic Super 8 grain, color fading, and slight motion blur, evoking a nostalgic mid-century American summer recreation scene.
Minors are visible. A sensitive-use review is required before commercial use.
Flags come from automated catalog metadata, not a legal opinion. The source is an original 8mm / Super 8 Home Movie reel. For high-stakes commercial use, request a full rights review.
