This brief film is part of a collection that records a family from York's trips to the coast and countryside around North Yorkshire. The films were all shot by the Lord Mayor of York's son and are a child's view of these days before World War Two. The film opens with a couple of young girls swimming in Scarborough South Bay Pool; they splash about and smile for the camera. Next they are running along the edges of the pool in the direction of the camera. There are shots of the pool area itself, the buildings, changing rooms or `Dressing Bathers' and the diving platforms. A woman dives into the water and swims quickly up and down. Then the children jump back into the water and splash about again. Finally, there is more footage of the family, and the film shows rows of deckchairs all around the pool. This is followed by more shots of the children in and around the water.
