Swimming with Pops Part 2

“Give me your hands,” said Pops. “I’ll tow you across the pool. You can be a motorboat! Kick your feet like a propeller. Keep each knee nice and straight.”

“Now put your face in the water and blow lots of bubbles. Make a noise like a motor!” said Pops.

Ray put his face in the water and blew lots of bubbles.
“Great!” said Pops. “Now get your kicking and your bubbles going together.”

“I think I’m swimming, Pops!” laughed Ray.
“I think you are, too,” said Pops. “Try it again, and let go of my hands, just for a little bit. Don’t worry. I’ll be right here if you need me.”

“I did it!” shouted Ray. “Nana! Come and watch me swim! I can kick and blow a million bubbles. I am the best motorboat in the world!”

“I’m coming!” called Nana.

“Excellent, Ray!” exclaimed Nana.
“Let’s go have our picnic now. After all that swimming, you must be hungry!”
