We’re in the thick of the pool season, and thanks to your hard work, people all over the country are enjoying a splash in their pools.
But it’s not just the average family in the suburbs who enjoys going for a dip — celebrities also love going for a refreshing swim. And now, you can see it for yourself.
To honor the swimming pool and the fun it brings, TIME created a fantastic slideshow of vintage photographs of celebrities enjoying their swimming pools.
One of our favorites: this candid shot of the Beatles in a Miami Beach swimming pool during their first tour in the US in 1964.

In addition to images of the rich and famous, the slideshow also has historical images of the other uses for swimming pools in the past, such as a training ground for soldiers in 1942, or a tool for rehabilitating polio patients in 1938.
