Viva Las Vegas
Mid-1950s. An unknown pool patron makes like a tree and jumps in to escape the heat in Las Vegas. Scanned from the Kodachrome slide. View full size
Pre-splash source
The pre-splash is the result of a spray of water coming out of a pipe below the diving board. Some pools add this spray to make the surface of the water visible to divers so they can judge their dive angles better.
It also sounds nice.
What you're looking at is
the water version of the YMCA song. Not enough film in the camera for M, C and A today. Darn the luck.
Pre-splash
What's causing the water in the pool to splash before he lands in the water??
Water water everywhere
The fire extinguisher hanging on the wall is filled with water, just like the pool!
Judging by his trajectory
he's gonna snag his right butt-cheek on that diving board. Ouch!
I'd sit quietly in my room
if I had a tree growing out of my head. Bravo, sir!
