DescriptionView of twenty-three people swimming in what is probably Marlboro Pond, also known as Lake Terramuggus, in Marlborough, Connecticut. The group is a mix of men, women and children. A few of the women and children are wearing swim caps. A few children in the middle apper to be holding onto a floating rectangle, and another child near them is laying on top of another floating object, which partially peeks out of the water. There are trees lining the far shore of the lake.
