Anderson has taken up his first sport: swimming. Inspired by Michael Phelps' swimming performance at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 he thought he'd get a head start and learn how to deal with being immersed in water sooner rather than later. Unfortunately he completely forgot how he spent the first nine months of his life, which means he pretty much had to start over.

He is enrolled in a baby swimming class where babies age 6 months or older with a parent can participate. At this time he's the youngest among the 8 participating babies. After overcoming the fear of water in the first two attempts, the third lesson went like a charm. He loved it so much that he didn't even want to leave the pool anymore. This is surprising, because he took on many challenging exercises, including putting his head under water for a split second (which surprisingly didn't faze him at all; he even laughed after coming back up).
