As a baby turtle, the last thing Lucia expected was to struggle in the water, but as she soon discovers, swimming is something that takes practice.
The reader can learn with Lucia, as she develops her swimming skills alongside her teacher, while searching for her brothers and sisters on the beach.
Lucia Learns about water safety, including the correct conditions for swimming, how to star-float, and what to do when encountering animals.
As a professional swimming teacher for over five years, I have seen the struggles of learning swimming first hand. 'Lucia Learns to Swim' was inspired through teaching swimming in Saint Lucia, where I taught on a volunteering programme with United Through Sports. Throughout its development, I have consulted professional contacts in the UK swimming world, as well as getting valuable feedback from children and parents. Any feedback is very welcome!
