Swim faster!

A

This is such a beautiful day! Great for sailing!

B

It sure is! The water looks so nice! Anchor the boat for a little while. I’m going to take a dip.

A

Why are you doggy-paddling? I taught you how to swim! Do your breast stroke!

B

I get too tired! I’ll just backstroke, it’s easier!

A

Try kicking your legs more. That’s good. Don’t go out too far!

B

It’s Jump in!

A

Kathy! Get back here! I see a shark!

B

Ahhhh!!!! Help me! Help! Bring the boat closer! The shark is coming straight towards me!

A

It’s right under you! Kathy!!!!!
