Like a human water fountain, three-year-old swimming prodigy Duncan Richardson stands on a pool ladder -- artfully spewing water like a whale -- in this 1946 photograph. LIFE photographer Martha Holmes documented Duncan's boyish frolic in a Los Angeles hotel pool, but the image's timelessness lies in its celebration of a fleeting summer moment.
