Three children in leopard print swimsuits splash around in a backyard paddling pool, circa 1950. The combination of a kiddie pool, plastic buckets or an available garden hose or sprinkler has always meant more ways to have fun, and more ways to cool down during those hot summer days.
The children's mother might have made the matching leopard swimsuits for her sons and daughter, or she was able to find snazzy coordinating leopard swim apparel at a department store or specialty shop.
