The Little Swimmer

Once upon a time, in a small town, there lived a 4-year-old girl named Lily. Lily had beautiful blonde hair and sparkling brown eyes. She loved playing outside and exploring new things. One sunny day, Lily's mom took her to the public swimming pool.

As they entered the pool area, Lily's eyes widened with excitement. She saw children splashing and having fun in the water. Lily wanted to join them, but she didn't know how to swim. Her mom held her hand and said, 'Don't worry, Lily. We will learn together.'

Lily and her mom changed into their swimsuits and walked towards the shallow end of the pool. They held onto the edge and slowly dipped their feet in the water. Lily felt a little scared at first, but her mom reassured her that she would be safe.

With each visit to the pool, Lily gained more confidence. She started by kicking her legs and splashing water with her hands. Her mom taught her how to float on her back and blow bubbles in the water. Lily practiced every day and soon became a little swimmer.
