Bookroo's summary
Nelly loves her new swimsuit but refuses to swim. Her Grandma, a former swimming champion, has a plan to change that. As Nelly dons her swimsuit everywhere but the pool, Grandma's gentle encouragement leads her to dip a toe into the water. Will Nelly overcome her fears and discover the joy of swimming? Dive into this heartwarming tale of courage and family bonds.
From the publisher
Nelly refuses to learn how to swim . . . until Grandma intervenes. Nelly looks fabulous in her new swimsuit, so she wears it all the time–while riding her bike, playing basketball, eating at a fancy restaurant . . . even while sleeping. But Nelly refuses to wear it for swimming. Grandma, a swimming champion, has other ideas. Finally Nelly, dipping one toe at a time, learns to float, blow bubbles, kick . . . and is on her way to becoming a champion swimmer herself!
