It is an open air pool. M/S of group of men diving off the side of the pool together, then swimming towards the camera. Lots of people sit on the steps beside the pool and watch. M/S of fun and games on a slippery pole which sticks out over the pool. Children fool around and fall in. C/U of three young children standing on the board. Another swimmer slides down the pole and falls in. High angle shot from the top of a slide. People slide down it on a wooden board. Spinning wheel is shown. Half a dozen people propel it around with their hands and feet and four girls are spun around as they lie on the bottom.
