British Pathé – Swim At Home (1937)

As you can read here on Open Culture, one of the leading producers of newsreels and documentaries during the 20th Century is turning over its entire collection – over 85,000 historical films – to YouTube. Including a treasure trove of fantastic swimming footage!
