‘I’m ready, Dad! Let’s get in the little pool quick,’ said Connie.

But Connie and Dad found that the learner pool was roped off. There were lots of mums and a few dads and a lot of babies in the pool so Connie ducked under the rope ready to join them.

‘No, dear, you can’t come in here,’ said the attendant. ‘There’s a parent-and-baby session taking place.’

‘But we always go in the little pool,’ said Connie. ‘Dad’s my parent.’ ‘She’s my very big baby,’ said Dad, joking.

‘Much too big, I’m afraid,’ said the attendant.

‘Never mind, we’ll go in the big pool,’ said Dad. He took hold of Connie’s hand. ‘It’ll be much more fun.’

Connie wasn’t so sure. The big pool was very very big. The water got very deep and every fifteen minutes they switched the wave machine on. Huge waves rippled up and down the big pool and everyone shouted and screamed.

‘The waves might knock me over, Dad,’ said Connie.

‘We’ll keep to the edge when the wave machine is on,’ said Dad. ‘Come on, Connie. Let’s get in the water, eh?’

Dad went down the steps into the water. It came up to his waist. Connie went down the steps very slowly, one at a time. She would have stayed halfway down, but some bigger girls wanted to get in the water too.

‘Move out of the way, you’re blocking the steps,’ they said, and when Connie didn’t budge one of them pushed her.

It was only a little push, but Connie lost her grip on the handrail. She fell forward, screaming. She went splosh into the bright blue water. It closed over her head and she clawed and kicked in this new terrifying blue world. Then something grabbed hold of her. She was whirled upwards and her head burst out in the air, ears popping with the sudden noise.
