A Hawaiian swimmer named Warren Kealoha is the subject of this 1924 view of the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C., a reflecting pool in West Potomac Park that was a popular spot for summer recreation. The National Photo Company, a commercial studio that photographed the capital and its visitors in the early twentieth century, made the glass negative. Its date of August 7, 1924, comes from a related negative, and the title relies on the studio's own unverified notes, so the exact circumstances of the outing remain uncertain.
