A man dives into cold water from a wooden dock in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in 1956. Shot on 8mm film, the footage captures him swimming underwater and resurfacing, with ripples and splashes visible in the blue-green water. The grainy, nostalgic quality of the Super 8 home movie highlights a classic summer moment, with the yellow edge of the dock framing the scene. The swimmer’s movements create dynamic water patterns, evoking a sense of carefree recreation from the mid-20th century.
