This 1966 view at Pontins Osmington Bay shows one of the camp’s organised poolside entertainments, with two performers poised high on the diving structure as a large crowd gathers around the water to watch. The scene is packed with useful detail, from the 7ft depth marking and rows of seated spectators to the stepped metal diving frame and the terraced accommodation blocks climbing the hillside behind. Deckchairs, swimwear, summer dresses and dark pullovers all add to the unmistakable mid-1960s holiday-camp atmosphere, while the elevated position of the buildings in the background gives a strong sense of Osmington Bay’s dramatic sloping setting. More than a simple swimming scene, this is a good record of the pool as a performance space, where novelty diving acts and public displays formed a regular part of the daytime programme.
