Behind the child, a woman in a white blouse and floral skirt stands holding an object, looking off to the side, while a man in a striped vest and hat is partially visible in the background. The room is warmly lit, suggesting a late afternoon or evening setting.

The pool area is adorned with bunting flags and signs indicating different swimming lane speeds such as "Slow," "Medium," and "Fast."

A group of people, including children and adults, are gathered on a sandy beach on a sunny day. The children, wearing colorful swimsuits, are in the foreground, some walking towards the camera, while the adults stand or sit in the background, observing.
