Encouragement to learn to swim
Come on, dive in
Water’s freezin’
It might be cold
But just be bold
You just might win

Just one small stroke
Go for broke
Let us swim two
I’ll see you through
Promise you wont croak

Don’t need no rubber ring
You’ll be a water king
Just kick your legs
Let your arms beat eggs
No need to cling

Look at your huge fin
You should show a grin
We can learn to float
Wee, like a big boat
Come on, just dive in!
