The young woman on the left appears to be Aileen Allen (1888-1950), a diver in the 1920 Summer Olympics who received her start in competitive athletics with the Los Angeles Athletic Club and returned to the LAAC as a swimming instructor and the Director of Womens Athletics in 1931. Hawaiian surfer Duke Kahanamoku, also associated with the LAAC, was a gold medal winner in swimming during the 1920 Summer Olympics at Antwerpen.
