"What a hot day," said Bobby."It is too hot to play ball. It is too hot to run.It is too hot to ride a bike.""It is too hot to do anything," said Willie.
"It is not too hot to go swimming!" said Bobby.
"Yes! Let's go swimming!" said Willie.
"I will go home and ask my mother" said Bobby.
"Me too," said Willie. "Meet you here in five minutes."
Both of their mothers said yes.
"Now don't forget to take your swimming trunks, Willie," his mother joked.
On the way to the city pool Bobby and Willie met Freddy.
He was sitting on the steps of his house. He looked hot.
"Hey Freddy! We are going swimming. Want to come too?"
"I will ask my mother," said Freddy.
"You may go swimming," said his mother.
"But remember that you are not a deep-water swimmer yet.
Just stay in the shallow water."
"I will stay in the shallow water," said Freddy.
He ran out of the house. "I can go!" he shouted.
"Great!" said Willie. "Let's go!"
When they got to the locker room, they put on their swimming trunks.
They took a fast shower and ran out to the pool.
"Hey fellows! NO RUNNING!" yelled Tom the lifeguard.
"You know the rules." They looked at the list of rules.

"Okay," said Willie. "Who is going in first?"
He dipped his foot into the water. "Yikes, it's cold!" he yelled.
Bobby jumped into the deep water.
"Last one in is a rotten egg!" he yelled.
"Not me," said Willie. He jumped into the deep water.
"I guess I am the rotten egg," said Freddy.
"I cannot go in the deep water."
He walked down to the other end of the pool and jumped into the shallow water.
"Hey, look at me I am a whale," said Willie.
"Hey, look at me! I am a submarine," said Bobby.
"Look at me!" yelled Willie. "Look at this big splash."
"Want to see a really big splash?" yelled Bobby.
"That was good," said Freddy. "I wish I could do that."
"Let's play tag," said Bobby. "Freddy is it."
"Oh, that's not fair," said Freddy.
"I cannot swim in the deep water.
I will be it all day!" "Okay," said Willie.
"We will do something else." Two girls swam by.
"Do you boys want to race us?" the girls asked.
"Oh, come on now," said Willie.
"We don't want to beat you girls in a race."
"Yes," said Bobby. "We will win, and then you will cry."
"No, we won't. Let's race!" said the girls.
"Okay. You asked for it," said Bobby.
Freddy was the starter. "Ready! Get set! GO!"
Willie swam fast. Bobby swam fast.
But the two girls swam faster.
They beat the boys by three feet.
"Do you want to race again?" asked the girls.
"Not today," said Willie. "Bobby and I are too tired from all that diving.
We will race you another day."
"Those girls are really fast swimmers," said Willie.
"But we are better divers," said Bobby.
Freddy watched them dive.
He sat by the side of the pool with his feet in the deep water.
"One day I will be a good diver too," he said very softly.
Across the pool two big boys were fooling around.
They were pushing the little kids into the water.
Suddenly the boys came up behind Freddy.
"In you go!" they yelled. They pushed him into the pool.
Freddy fell into the deep water.
Down, down, down he went. He came up to the top.
Then he sank down, down again.
He opened his mouth to yell for help.
But he only swallowed more water.
He reached out and there was a hand grabbing his.It was Tom the lifeguard. Tom pulled Freddy out.
Freddy sat down on the bench.He was full of water. He coughed.
"What are you trying to do, drink all the water in the pool?" Tom made a little joke.
But it was no joke to Freddy. He felt terrible.
