About the Book
Hugo is ready to learn how to swim. With his suit, goggles, towel, and water toy in hand, he arrives at his first lesson with Ms. Walters. He is so excited!
After Hugo learns important safety tips, Ms. Walters teaches him how to submerge in the water, float on his back, and retrieve a ring. As he learns how to pull with stretched arms, kick with straight legs and dive in the water, Hugo soon discovers that swimming is not scary at all. Now he just needs to practice so he can swim all by himself.
In this charming children’s tale that includes important guidance for parents, a little boy learns how to safely swim with help from an experienced instructor.
