透過簡單、有節奏感的文字，把孩子第一次學游泳時那種「心裡毛毛的」恐懼感描寫得非常到位。

今天，是小男孩的第一堂游泳課。看著大大的泳池，他心裡緊張極了。
「水好深喔……我會不會沉下去？」他一邊想，一邊小心翼翼地踩進水裡。
結果一個不小心，水噴進了他的鼻子，那種酸酸嗆嗆的感覺讓他嚇壞了。
他立刻爬出泳池，縮在岸邊大喊：「這太可怕了！我不想游了！」

這時候，游泳老師溫柔地走到他身邊，沒有強迫他立刻下水，而是抱抱他、對他說：「沒關係，覺得害怕是很正常的喔。」
老師牽著他的手，陪著他一點一點地重新靠近水池。當他們一起面對恐懼、慢慢嘗試後，
小男孩驚訝地發現：原來只要放鬆身體，水是可以很好玩的！他在水裡拍拍打打，臉上終於露出了大大的笑容。
