Swimming with Pops Part 1

Ray was staying with Nana and Pops for vacation. On Saturday morning, Nana said “Let’s go to the town swimming pool today. We can take some food and have a picnic while we’re there.”

“Great idea!” cried Ray. “I love swimming, and I love picnics, too!”

Ray and Pops packed their swimming trunks and towels. “We must remember the sunscreen,” said Pops, “and our hats.”

Nana packed the food in a picnic basket. Then they left for the pool.

At the pool, Ray said, “Come on, Pops! Let’s have a swim before lunch!”

Pops and Ray changed into their swimming trunks. Then Ray looked in his bag and shook his head. “Pops, I can’t go into the pool,” Ray said.
I don’t have my water wings.”

“No problem,” smiled Pops. “I’ll teach you to swim without your water wings.”
Ray stood at the curve of the pool. He stared at the water. “I’m not so sure about this, Pops,” he said.

“Trust me, Ray,” said Pops. “I’ll take care of you. I know a fun way to teach you to swim.”
