Everyone needs to know how to swim. Not only is moving around in the water fun and healthy, but playful and safe activity in the water also takes away fear. This book is written for all children who want to learn how to swim. The child-appropriate text and illustrations will inspire and motivate the beginning swimmer in his or her encounter with the water, while teaching the basics as well as technique. Special exercises, puzzles, and room for journal entries will support this idea. Throughout the book, little "Dolly" and her friend "Speedster" are lively and entertaining companions, offering tips, and asking the children to practice.
