“A Fun Story About Jack Who Sings A Little Song To Give Him Courage”

Emilie and Jack are a young brother and sister off to their first day of swimming lessons. They’re excited and nervous to be finally learning how to swim. Jack sings a little song to give him courage: “I’m Swimming Along, singing a song.”

By the end of this colorful children’s book, everyone has had a great day at the pool, and even their mom is singing Jack’s song!

Lisa Herbertson wrote this book to encourage children to overcome their fears and to let them know that swimming is a fun and healthy activity. “I had a part time job as a swimming teacher, and was surprised at how many children were afraid of swimming lessons. Swimming is such a crucial skill to have, and often parents aren’t quite sure how to encourage their kids.”
