On the first day, Grace put on her swimsuit and stood by the pool. She watched the other kids jump in, but she couldn't move. Her feet felt like they were stuck to the ground. - Why can't I do it? Grace asked herself. She tried to take a step, but her legs were shaking.
Her mom came over and knelt beside her. - It's okay to be scared, Grace, her mom said gently. - But I really want to swim, Grace replied with a frown. - Let's try together, her mom suggested. Grace nodded, holding her mom's hand tightly.
The next day, Grace tried again. This time, she managed to dip her toes in the water, but a big splash made her jump back. She felt a little braver, but still worried. - I don't like the splashes, Grace told her mom. - It's just water, her mom said. - But it's cold and wet! Grace replied, shivering.
On the third day, Grace wore her floaties and finally stepped into the water. But when the water reached her knees, she started to panic. - I can't do it! Grace cried. Her heart was pounding, and she wanted to run back. - You can, just take it slow, her mom encouraged.
Grace felt like giving up as she sat on the pool's edge. - Maybe swimming isn't for me, Grace said sadly. Her mom hugged her tightly. - You’re doing great, and you’re so close, her mom whispered. Grace sighed, feeling unsure.
When Grace's swimming teacher, Mr. Finn, saw her sitting sadly, he came over. - I have a trick for you, he said kindly. He showed her how to blow bubbles in the water, so the splashes wouldn't bother her face. Grace tried it, and it was fun! She giggled as the bubbles danced around her.
On the last day, Grace took a deep breath and stepped into the pool. She remembered Mr. Finn's trick and blew bubbles as she moved. Soon, she was floating and kicking, feeling free. - I'm swimming! Grace shouted happily. Her mom and Mr. Finn cheered loudly, and Grace felt proud of her bravery.
