A 1950s postcard showing a large indoor swimming pool. The flat ceiling is a blue and white checkerboard pattern. The area beneath contains a large pool, apparently not very deep as some people are standing up to their waist in water in the centre. Around the pool is a mosaic tiled surface filled with loungers, most of them occupied.

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.
