A day at the community pool is full of unwater magic—dunking and diving with friends; somersaulting, walking on your hands, and bursting up through the surface like a tortoise. But when a thunderstorm comes and a little brother ventures too close to the pool’s edge, will our main character be quick enough and brave enough to save the day - Froma Amazon
Summer - Swimming
This book really captured the feel of a long summer day at the pool as a kid - both with text AND pictures. I could imagine the feel of bubbles floating up after each "PLUNGE" and shivered when everyone got out of the pool and huddled at the snack shack during the thunder. I love that its written in second person - addressing "you" - That helps with putting the reader right there in the pool!
