Swimming pool ownership was held up as a standard for success and fulfillment of the American dream in F. Scott Fitzgerald's Pat Hobby Himself. Support for this correlation can be found in many luxury brand advertisements currently running, including the Cruise 2010 campaigns for Louis Vuitton & Gucci. Entering the second decade of the twenty-first century, we may not be living in the "mosaic swimming-pool age" Fitzgerald knew, but our nation still fully inhabits and perpetuates the same essential ideals.
