Cool in Pool
Sam, an 8-year-old with red hair, wants to swim without floaties at the neighborhood pool. Faced with challenges and self-doubt, Sam's journey teaches the value of wisdom and perseverance.
Sam loved going to the neighborhood pool every summer. But this year, Sam had a big problem. Sam didn't want to wear floaties anymore. 'I’m eight now, I should swim without floaties!' Sam declared. But Sam's parents were worried. 'You need to be safe, Sam,' they said.
The next day, Sam decided to try swimming without floaties. Sam took a deep breath and jumped into the pool. But instantly, Sam felt scared and splashed around. 'Help!' Sam yelled. The lifeguard quickly pulled Sam out. 'You need more practice, Sam,' the lifeguard said.
Sam felt embarrassed and a bit sad. The other kids were swimming so easily. 'Why can't I do it?' Sam wondered. Sam tried again the next day but got too nervous and clung to the pool's edge. 'Maybe I should just give up,' Sam thought. 'It’s too hard.'
Sam's best friend, Max, noticed Sam's frustration. - What's wrong, Sam? Max asked. - I can't swim without floaties, Sam admitted. - It’s okay to be scared, Max said. - But I really want to swim like you, Sam replied. - Let's practice together, Max suggested.
Max showed Sam some easy swimming techniques. - Relax and float first, Max said. Sam took a deep breath and floated on the water. - You’re doing great! Max cheered. Slowly, Sam felt more confident. - I think I can try swimming now, Sam smiled.
On the last day of summer, Sam was ready to swim without floaties. Sam jumped into the pool and started swimming. - Look, I’m doing it! Sam shouted. Sam's parents clapped and smiled. Sam learned that with practice and wisdom, anything is possible.
