    1. Were people hired to pull those things in and out of the water? Also, the guy with his trousers rolled up seems to be giving Mr. Stripes a longing look.

    2. Yes. Strong and sturdy bathers of the appropriate sex would push swimmers from the bathing machine into the water. They were called "dippers".
