Bookroo's summary

Maisy and her friends are off to their first swimming lesson. Eddie dives in effortlessly, but Maisy and Tallulah hesitate at the chilly water's edge. As they slowly wade in, the challenge of overcoming their fears looms large. Will they find the courage to kick, float, and blow bubbles like the rest? Join Maisy on this splashy adventure and discover if she can make waves in the pool. Perfect for young readers who are either water-shy or eager to dive in, this story captures the excitement and trepidation of trying something new.

From the publisher

“Take the plunge with Maisy and her friends as they splash and wade through their first swimming lesson.” – Kirkus Reviews Today Maisy and her friends are going swimming for the first time. Eddie is a natural, but Maisy and Tallulah get into the pool slowly–ooh, it’s freezing! But soon they are kicking and floating and even blowing bubbles with the rest. Whether water-shy or raring to go, young readers will relate to Maisy as she learns to make a splash!
