Everyone needs to know how to swim. Not only is moving
around in the water fun and healthy, but playful and safe
activity in the water also takes away fear. This book is
written for all children who want to learn how to swim.
The child-appropriate text and illustrations will inspire
and motivate the beginning swimmer in his or her
encounter with the water, while teaching the basics as
well as technique. Special exercises, puzzlers, and
places for personal entries will support this idea.
Throughout the book little Fini and her friend Speedster
will be lively and entertaining companions, offering
tips, and asking the children to practice. This book
offers useful suggestions to parents, grandparents, and
all who want to support our little swimmers.
