A young boy swims in a backyard pool in this vintage 8mm home movie from Miami, Florida, 1971. The footage captures him underwater and at the surface, splashing and moving through the green-tinted water. He wears dark swim trunks and appears to be learning to swim, with natural, unposed movements. The film shows characteristic grain, slight color fading, and edge damage, preserving the authentic look of a 1970s home movie. The pool has a tiled edge and a grassy background, evoking a nostalgic summer day.
