The color film quality, faded hues, and specific styles of the swimwear (modest one-piece with swim cap for the woman, patterned trunks for the man) strongly suggest a date in the 1950s. The apparent ages of the subjects (likely Albert and Esther Fox, born ~1896 and ~1900) align with them being in their mid-50s to early 60s during this decade.
