A man in blue swim trunks kneels in shallow water at Canyon Lake, California, helping a young child learn to swim. The child, wearing a light-colored floatation device, splashes as the man supports them in the rippling water. Shot on 8mm film in 1978, this home movie captures a tender moment of teaching and play under bright daylight. The footage shows natural film grain, slight color fading, and authentic vintage texture, evoking nostalgia for 1970s family life and summer recreation.
