Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage footage captures a sun-drenched view of an Olympic-sized swimming pool in Mexico City. Empty concrete bleachers line the pool, with a multi-story building featuring yellow and blue horizontal stripes in the background. Lush green trees dot the landscape, and a few cars pass on the adjacent road. The camera pans slowly, revealing the full scope of the aquatic facility under a bright sky, evoking a sense of mid-century urban planning and public recreation. The film’s grain and color saturation are characteristic of home movie footage from the era.
