The image shows several people immersed in water, with their bodies visible from the waist up. The individuals are engaged in different activities. One person on the left is raising their hand, while another person is expressing an emotional reaction. To the right, a person is visible with crossed arms. The individuals have varied hairstyles, with some wearing head coverings. They are all wearing dark swimwear with short sleeves and rounded necklines. The scene takes place in a body of water, with a net behind them suggesting a swimming pool. In the background, two figures are seated on a bench, observing the activity. Another person is seen walking on a platform above the water, wearing similar clothing. The background is depicted with vertical lines.
