The man is described as "a small, oldish man walking briskly around the edge of the pool".
He was seen wearing "a white suit", this could imply that the man is wealthy as back then people who wore the colour white were labeled as wealthy.
The reader can infer that the man does not speak English very well as the man has a strong accent that sounded "Italian or Spanish".
The narrator was "fairly sure" that the man "was some sort of a South American"
The man looks "around sixty-eight or seventy" years old.
The reader can also infer that the man might not like Americans as he says "'Who else in de world is going to make as much noise at dat?'"

the man is described as a

'small oldish man walking briskly' wearing

A 'white suit' with a 'panama hat' and 'uneven teeth that are slightly tarnished' show us how he is wealthy, and his accent was 'Italian' or 'Spanish' which means he is from the south with a strong accent. As the book says, 'The Man From The South' he was some sort of South American' and looked'sixty-eight or seventy', which shows us that he is old. We can see he smokes

cigarettes: 'He had a towel in his hand, and when he sat down, he unrolled it and produced a pack of cigarettes and a lighter'

The man was described in the text as a "well-dressed" man who was smoking a cigar and talks in a "South American" accent, he also spoke broken English, we can infer this because all of his dialogue is spelt incorrectly. The man is also described as an old man who wasn't swimming with the boys, this is made clear in the extract when the writer says "a small, oldish man walking briskly around the edge of the pool"
