DescriptionA child gets uses the handrails to get out of the swimming pool at The Coronado Club, a social and recreational activity center for the employees and families of Sandia Corporation on Sandia Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The child is wearing a life jacket and looking toward the left of the camera. People play in the water, walk around the pool deck, and sit in lounge chairs near sun umbrellas in the grass beside the pool deck. A lifeguard sits on a chair rising over the swimming pool. There is a sun umbrella over the lifeguard's chair. A sign on the lifeguard chair reads, "Kindly do not distract guard with unnecessary conversation". The corner of the single-story recreation building is near the left of the frame. The Sandia Mountains are in the distance beyond a wooden fence that surrounds the pool area.
