In 1958 we joined Connecticut Belair Swimming Pool located at the corner of Connecticut Ave and Viers Mill Road. On the last day of the season Dad wanted to get some movies of us at the pool.
This part of the movie shows us coming out of the changing rooms and heading for the pool. My brother and I charge into the shallow end of the kiddie pool, but there doesn't appear to be much water at this end of the pool. Later the action switches to everyone other than me swimming in the adult pool. I was not quite six and they tried to convince me to jump into the adult pool too, but the water was just too cold and I chickened out at the last second.

Black Pool, northern Lower Group, West Thumb Geyser Basin, Yellowstone Hotspot, northwestern Wyoming, USA in August 2011.
Black Pool is a very hot, moderately deep, irregularly-outlined, and intensely blue- to deep turquoise-colored. It was formerly a deep greenish-black color, from the presence of yellowish extremophile bacterial mats on the pool walls and floor. Subsequent natural heating of this feature has knocked out most of the bacterial mats. Abundant, suspended, <0.5µ-sized, colloidal silica particles are responsible for the blue coloration of the water.
In 1991 and 1992, Black Pool had atypical activity, coinciding with activity at nearby Abyss Pool. One explosive eruption here in August 1991 involved the forceful detachment and nearby deposition of geyserite clasts. Boiling water domes up to 3 feet high were present in the pool after that eruption, accompanied by significant overflow.
Small eruptions also occurred at Black Pool in 1992.
