Taken while swimming at the baths. A woman swimmer is standing, arms akimbo, on the far side of the pool looking out to the ocean horizon (invisible from the camera's position). A small flock of sea birds, only specks from here, stand on the wall between two pool step railings to the left of the woman. Cloudy day with gentle light along the horizon and in the thinner parts of the cloud cover. The light touches the undulations of the water surface.

Woman standing, looking out to sea.

Taken while swimming at the Ocean Baths, looking across to the eastern side. An overcast day with blue sky and gentle light along the horizon. Freestyle swimmer with a yellow cap is in the middle of a stroke, facing away from the camera, arm bent and raised. Other swimmers dot the edges of the pool. One swimmer is exiting the pool via the steps on the far side where a second is standing waiting; a third swimmer is walking to the right. The feeling is of a peaceful community enjoying the water.

Taken while swimming at the Ocean Baths, looking across to the slanted end of the turquoise concrete bleacher wall behind the 6 lap lane markers. There is a group of people sitting on the ground next to the wall chatting. A few others are scattered around, in and beside the water. It's an overcast morning but there's still light along the horizon. Makes for nice highlights along the gently textured surface of the pool.

Looking towards the eastern ocean side of the main pool while swimming. The stainless steel railings of the pool steps angle towards each other. The water is speckled with rain drip and textured by the wind. Blue sky peeking out towards the horizon. Still heaps of grey in the clouds though.

Rain drops on the grey surface of the main ocean pool. Two solid concrete benches like ancient stone age alters sit beside the pool. Grey skies with a hint of white on the right.

Grey choppy waters in the main pool of the ocean baths. Even the turquoise concrete bleacher wall (next to the lap pool on the left) looks grey under stormy skies. Along the horizon pale fragments of blue are visible behind whiter clouds.
