Description

A group of young people goes swimming from a stone pier with metal steps. Guys do a bit of gymnastic balance posing before they descend down the metal steps. The bathing party includes Pat Campbell, the young woman from the Bangor Speedboat clip, wearing a dark one-piece tank swimsuit and a swimming cap. 

The film was probably shot by John Dermot Campbell and it is part of the Campbell Family Collection.  

Notes

In the 1920's, swimwear or beach fashion design appeared unisex, with both men and women wearing full-body swimsuits. Featuring a simple design, most women and men wore one-piece swimsuits, which covered their torso, leaving their legs and arms exposed. The main difference was that while men’s models featured shorts, the women’s included a dress which covered the underwear.
