The bold patterned swim trunks on the men and the style of the women's bathing suits strongly suggest the late 1940s to 1950s. The main subject, Albert Fox (born ~1896), appears to be in his mid-50s, which aligns with a date in the early 1950s. The casual, crowded pool setting is typical of post-war American leisure.
