Kaleigh can’t swim. And that she finds annoying. Especially because she is ten-years-old and she still has to wear these terrible childish orange life belts around her arms. She hates them! Sometimes when a friend invites her for a birthday party in the swimming pool, she would rather pretend to have a belly-ache, than admit she is not able to swim. How can it be that she never learned to swim? But now she is determined to take the plunge. She will swim through this big hole in the deep water and get her swimming certificate!
