An indoor swimming pool on a 1950s postcard. The building has a slightly tapering roof with large support beams running its length. The pool beneath is is a squared dumbbell shape, and cross the thin central area is a small curved bridge. A woman stands on it looking down into the green pool water in which a half dozen people are swimming or standing and talking.

Not my photos. Obviously.
Fell down an internet rabbit hole and ended up here at the Vintage Pool Party group on Flickr dedicated to vintage swimming pool imagery from the 1930s to 1980s. It's mostly from 50s and 60s American motel postcards and I love this design aesthetic that includes lots of great examples of Googie architecture with its then-futuristic style.
