Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph caption dated June 26, 1962 reads, "And classes are in progress at all Los Angeles city pools. Not only is the art of swim good to know, it's the best way to beat the hot weather. Take it from Cindy Story, 8, Sun Valley, who is being taught how to float by her sister, Cathy, 16, right, and Candy Minimum, 16, left. Maybe after they help her float, they'll let go and Cindy will be dunked - but not for long. She'll soon learn to support herself, but meanwhile - anyone for a cool plunge to escape the heat?"
