The springboard in the pond : an intimate history of the swimming pool

by Thomas A. P. van Leeuwen, Helen Searing

This architectural study examines the domestic swimming pool as a cultural artefact and icon of twentieth-century modernism. It traces the evolution of the pool as a building type, analysing the human relationship with water through social and technical perspectives.
