This postcard of the old Municipal Swimming Pool in Lakeland. The postcard wasn’t mailed, though I’d guess this postcard is from around 1950. Don’t know much about this pool except that this pool isn’t the official pool anymore.
The City of Lakeland now calls this department “Aquatics” and you can learn more about them by clicking here:

This postcard is part of the Swampy’s Florida collection.
