About this subject

A fenced outdoor swimming pool filled with bathers on a sunny day, with a high diving board at the far end and a low board to the right. A long white building with a dark roof and a row of windows stands behind the pool, with a bench and seated onlookers in the foreground and a tree line beyond.
