About

This original 1940s American Red Cross “Learn to Swim” campaign poster, with its eye-popping colors and bold graphic clarity, exemplifies the organization’s nationwide push for water safety education during the postwar era. Professionally mounted on linen for preservation, it retains its vintage vibrancy and is ready to display. Paired with the original vintage wooden kickboard—complete with a stenciled red cross logo—this set is more than just wall art. It’s a piece of American public health history. These tools were widely used across municipal pools and school programs during the Red Cross’s swimming initiatives of the 1940s and 1950s. A striking combination for collectors of Americana, Red Cross memorabilia, or vintage sports and safety graphics.
