What is Swimming Across the Pool about?

Yasmin watches Sarah swim confidently across the pool and wishes she could do the same. She tries hard, but has to stop when she needs to breathe. Instead of giving up, Yasmin keeps practising and learns how to turn her head while swimming. At last, she reaches the other side without stopping. Yasmin is thrilled and proud of what she has achieved. A warm, encouraging story about perseverance, learning a new skill and celebrating a special moment of success.
