A woman in a white swim cap swims through a pool in this 8mm home movie from Southampton, New York, 1937. Shot in black and white, the footage captures her steady strokes and the ripples on the water's surface, with trees visible in the background. The grainy texture and soft focus reflect the vintage Super 8 film style, evoking a nostalgic, everyday moment of recreation from the late 1930s.
