The enduring symbolism of the swimming pool

"Zima Blue," from Netflix's Love, Death & Robots (s1e14), is worth a watch for those interested in the intersection of art and swimming pools. Haunting episode, and one of my favorite from that season.

The short story was good too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zima_Blue_and_Other_Stories

Cool. Didn't know it was based on an Alastair Reynolds story. (Also Beyond the Aquila Rift ...)

It's another review of a museum exhibit.

Now, this is the symbolism of the swimming pool.[1] Music video, the early years. From "Footlight Parade", 1933.

It's really hard to keep a swimming pool clean. Most of the design is utilitarian.

People cry that potable water reserves are depleting, but nobody would resign from their swimming pools. Hypocrisy at its greatest.
