EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Learning to Swim, Wardman Park Hotel, Washington DC, USA, c. 1922" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. The image captures a moment of history when swimming lessons were not just for children but also for adults seeking to conquer the art of swimming. In this vintage photograph, we see two individuals immersed in the crystal-clear waters of a swimming pool. A confident female instructor guides a man through his aquatic journey as he floats effortlessly on his back. Both figures exude determination and focus as they embrace the challenge of learning this essential life skill. The setting is none other than the prestigious Wardman Park Hotel in Washington DC, which served as an oasis for those seeking relaxation and recreation during that era. The timeless elegance of this location adds an air of sophistication to the scene. As we observe this snapshot from nearly a century ago, it becomes evident that learning how to swim was not only about physical exercise but also symbolized personal growth and self-discovery. This image serves as a reminder that no matter our age or background, there are always opportunities to embark on new journeys and acquire valuable skills. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable piece by Harris & Ewing allows us to glimpse into an era where perseverance met water's edge - capturing both historical significance and human resilience with every stroke taken towards mastery.
