  • SummaryGirl swimming in foreground; woman swimming in background. Caption: "Esther Williams, beware--Toning up for the Olympics of 1972, 2-year-old Anne Reilly cuts a figure in the water of which Coney also has in abundance. Although the water displacement of 1,000,000 bodies is almost enough to cause a second high tide, Coney's waves are just as cooling on a hot day as those which roll ashore at Nice or Cannes."
