Woman Swimming In River In Sunny Day And Typical Summer — Clip Details

A vintage 8mm home movie from 1939 captures a woman swimming in Long Lake, Canada, on a bright summer day. The black-and-white footage shows a round object, possibly a ball, bobbing in the water before cutting to a smiling woman in a swimsuit and swim cap. The final frames reveal a man relaxing on the lakeshore near a wooden chair. The film exhibits classic Super 8 grain and soft focus, evoking a nostalgic, personal memory of a summer holiday.

Topics & Keywords

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: Useful for 1930s Canadian home-movie requests needing brief summer swimming, lakeside leisure, or personal holiday material for documentary, museum, education, or editorial productions.
Period detail: The swim cap, simple swimsuit, black-and-white 8mm look, and informal lakeshore setup may show late-1930s recreational dress and amateur filming practice.
Home-movie behavior: The value is in the unstaged holiday behavior: a swimmer surfaces, smiles toward the camera, and a man relaxes casually near the shore.
What appears in frame: Visible elements include rippled lake water, a swimmer in a cap, splashing movement, a close view of the woman, rocky shoreline, and a wooden chair.
Film character: The clip has soft focus, visible grain, uneven exposure, and handheld framing that give it clear physical 8mm home-movie texture.
Edit role: An editor could use this as a short insert, memory beat, or seasonal transition for summer recreation, family travel, or lakeside leisure sequences.
Historical context: The footage gives visual context for informal outdoor swimming and lakeside relaxation in a Canadian home-movie setting without documenting a public event.
Research note: People and faces are visible, so likeness review may be needed in addition to copyright and source-rights checks; no logos or private property are evident.
Research search match: Likely matches searches for 1939 8mm Canada lake swimming, Long Lake home movie, vintage summer holiday footage, and 1930s woman swimmer.
Archive pairing path: Pair first with nearby shots from the same reel, then other Long Lake or 1939 Canada material, then broader vintage summer swimming and lakeshore leisure footage.
