A lively scene unfolds at Chautauqua Institution in New York, where a group of women and girls enjoy the water. Some stand on a diving platform, while others are poised on ladders or in the water. One person is mid-dive, captured in a dynamic pose. The bathing suits of the era are evident, adding a historical touch to the image. The handwritten message on the back mentions the first-class bathing facilities and swimming instruction.
