Six bathers wade and swim in the waves of Bellport Bay in Long Island, New York, where Glackens rented a summer cottage. A seventh figure, visible on the sailboat behind them, bends over, perhaps to tie a rope. The vertical mast of the boat bisects the horizontal line of the pier, creating a stabilizing structure for the artist's fluid depiction of the bay. Glackens's short, quick brushstrokes suggest light sparkling on the water and a breeze blowing across the waves.
