Morgan "Sweet Bean" Stephen Learning to Swim and Win
Morgan "Sweet Bean" Stephen, a curious and adventurous 8-year-old, is determined to learn how to swim despite her fears. With the help of a kind instructor and some new friends, she musters the courage to overcome her obstacles and discovers that swimming is not just about moving in water but also about bravery and friendship. Will Morgan conquer her fears and succeed in her swimming lessons?
It was a bright, sunny Saturday morning, and Morgan Sweet Bean could barely keep still. Today was the day she was finally going to learn how to swim! She had her brand-new purple swimsuit on, with two shiny gold earrings that sparkled in the sun, and her long, curly brown hair tied up so it wouldn't get in her way. Morgan Sweet Bean was excited—but also a little bit nervous. She wondered if she'd be able to swim like the other kids.
When she and her mom arrived at the community center pool, Morgan Sweet Bean took a deep breath. The water looked so big and blue, and there were other kids already splashing around, laughing and playing. Morgan Sweet Bean felt a small flutter in her chest. - What if I can't do it? Morgan Sweet Bean wondered aloud. Her mom squeezed her hand encouragingly.
Miss Clara, the swimming instructor, greeted Morgan Sweet Bean with a warm smile. - Hi, Morgan Sweet Bean! Are you ready to have some fun in the water today? Miss Clara asked, kneeling down to her level. Morgan Sweet Bean nodded, even though her stomach felt like it had butterflies. - It's okay to be a little nervous, Miss Clara reassured her. - Everyone here is learning, just like you.
Miss Clara started the lesson by showing everyone how to blow bubbles in the water. Morgan Sweet Bean watched as the other kids put their faces in the water and blew bubbles, making funny noises. She decided to give it a try, but when she leaned over, water splashed into her nose, making her cough. - Oh no! Morgan Sweet Bean exclaimed, stepping back. Miss Clara encouraged her to try again.
Morgan Sweet Bean took a deep breath and tried blowing bubbles again. This time, she succeeded, giggling as the water tickled her nose. - I did it! she cheered, feeling proud of herself. But the next task was floating on her back, which seemed even scarier. Morgan Sweet Bean felt her heart race as she watched the other kids lie back on the water.
As Morgan Sweet Bean tried to float, she felt herself sink beneath the water and quickly stood up, gasping. - I can't do it! she cried, feeling a wave of panic. Miss Clara was by her side, holding her arm gently. - Let's try again, step by step, she suggested. - It's all about relaxing and trusting the water.
The kids moved on to practicing their kicks, and Morgan Sweet Bean was determined to do better. But as she kicked, her legs tangled, and she splashed water everywhere. - It's too hard, she muttered, feeling frustrated. Ava, the girl in the pink dolphin swimsuit, was next to her and smiled. - You're doing great, Morgan! she said encouragingly.
Despite her struggles, Morgan Sweet Bean kept trying, but she felt like she was stuck. - Why can't I get it right? she whispered to herself. The other kids seemed to be having fun, and she wished she could join them. - It just takes practice, Ava said, overhearing her. - We can do it together!
Feeling overwhelmed, Morgan Sweet Bean sat on the edge of the pool, watching the others. She thought about giving up. - Maybe swimming just isn't for me, she sighed. Her mom sat beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. - Remember, sweetheart, courage means trying even when it's hard, her mom reminded her gently.
Morgan Sweet Bean felt the warmth of her mom's words, and a small spark of determination returned. Miss Clara approached with a suggestion. - Let's try something fun, she proposed, handing Morgan a floating noodle. - This will help you feel more at ease in the water. Morgan Sweet Bean hesitated but nodded, deciding to give it one more try.
With the noodle supporting her, Morgan Sweet Bean felt herself relaxing in the water. - This is fun! she exclaimed as she floated effortlessly. Ava paddled over, her eyes bright. - You're doing it, Morgan! she cheered. Morgan Sweet Bean felt a wave of happiness and confidence wash over her.
Miss Clara guided Morgan Sweet Bean through more exercises, and she found herself improving. - I can't believe it! she said, amazed at her progress. With each kick and paddle, her confidence grew. Ava stayed by her side, and together they laughed and splashed. Morgan Sweet Bean realized she was having fun.
By the end of the lesson, Morgan Sweet Bean felt like a different person. She had faced her fears and learned to enjoy swimming. - You were amazing today, her mom said, wrapping her in a towel. Morgan Sweet Bean grinned, feeling proud. - I can't wait to come back next week and get even better! she replied eagerly.
As she left the pool, Morgan Sweet Bean felt a sense of accomplishment. She had not only learned to swim but had also discovered the bravery to face her fears. - See you next week, Ava called, waving. Morgan Sweet Bean waved back, her heart full of joy and newfound courage. She couldn't wait for more adventures at the pool.
