In the USA, swimming pools have long been contested sites of privilege, class, and race – serving as both symbols of wealth and excess and as reprieves from the ever-increasing heat for the urban poor. This observational portrait of one of the few remaining public pools in the heart of Los Angeles becomes a visual celebration of public spaces as well as a meditation on family and the luxury of leisure.
