DescriptionA woman assists a young boy on the edge of an outdoor swimming pool in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Children are holding on to the edge of the pool and kicking their legs during a swim lesson. A man walks along the pool in the background and points to a child. Other children are swimming inside the indoor pool in the background. A building with windows and a flat roof is along the edge of the pool and there is an opening for swimmers to swim from inside to the outside area. A lifeguard chair is near the building. A group of swimmers are seated on the pool deck and another group are seated on a bench under the front entrance to the building.
