EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grace and synchrony of the Indian Routine Synchronised Swimming Team during a rehearsal in the 1950s. The image, taken at the popular coastal resort of Bournemouth, England, showcases the team's stunning aquatic ballet as they approach the pier and the iconic Baths. Dressed in vibrant bathing suits and adorned with elegant headpieces, the swimmers glide through the water in perfect harmony, creating mesmerizing cascades and formations. The team, known as the Aquabelles, were a part of the British synchro scene during the 1950s, an era that saw the sport gain significant popularity. Synchronised swimming, also referred to as water ballet or artistic swimming, required exceptional strength, flexibility, and coordination from its performers. The team's superb performance in the water was a testament to their dedication and skill. The photograph, taken in the summer of 1950s, evokes a sense of nostalgia and beauty, transporting us back to a time when aquatic shows were a staple of seaside entertainment. The team's rehearsal at the pier's edge, with the pier and the approaching sun casting long shadows on the water, adds an element of drama and mystery to the scene. This image, from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the history of synchronised swimming and the golden age of British seaside resorts.
