Sidney tries hard to avoid his first swimming lesson, only admitting his fear after someone pushes him into the water. When his classmates build him a big floating contraption, he soon decides he likes swimming after all. Expressive illustrations convey Sidney's feelings about this familiar predicament, but the resolution, in which he plays a rather passive role, feels incomplete and not entirely satisfying.
