Are you tired of the hot July weather? Take a moment to explore these refreshing
images of swimmers in Nebraska Memories.
These women are enjoying the water at
Linoma Beach, which was founded in 1924 as a “pleasure resort” halfway between Lincoln and
Omaha.
This boy is among the swimmers relaxing at the
David City Municipal Pool in a 1948 photograph.
This
swimming hole at an unknown Nebraska location shows another way in which people have taken to the water for recreation.
