A young child in a life vest floats in shallow water at Canyon Lake, California, as an adult gently guides them through the basics of swimming. Shot on 8mm film in 1978, this home movie captures a tender moment of learning and play, with the child wearing a red life preserver and the adult in blue swim trunks. The warm, slightly faded colors and film grain evoke a nostalgic, authentic 1970s family vacation atmosphere. The scene is calm and intimate, showing the child gaining confidence in the water under careful supervision.
