Lama learns to swim. Lama Lama and his friends play in Luna Gerrard's backyard. Luna shows everyone her brand new swimsuit. I have an idea, she says. Let's go to the beach. A beach day sounds like fun, says Nellie Gnu. We can go body boarding. Gilroy, Uselet and Luna are excited. But Lama Lama isn't so sure. You look nervous, Lama Lama says Nellie. Don't you want to go to the beach? Well, says Lama. I don't know if I like the beach, but it could be fun. Right? It's going to be a blast, says Nellie. That night, Lama Lama talks to Mama Lama. He tells her he is worried about going to the beach. I'm afraid to go in the water, he says. Mama Lama puts her arm around Lama's shoulder. Is that because you don't know how to swim? She asks. Lama nods. It's okay, honey, says Mama Lama. Not knowing how to swim is nothing to be ashamed of. Would you like me to give you a swimming lesson? Yes, exclaims Lama Lama. The next day, Lama and Mama go to Ilanors Elephant's house. She has a pool. Lama dips a foot in the water. Not bad, right? As Mama Lama. Actually, it's pretty nice, says Lama. Mama shows Lama some swimming strokes. Then Mama helps Lama float on the water. Finally, they both hold their breath and dip in the water together. Lama Lama likes learning to swim. After their lesson, Lama and his Mama say goodbye and thank you to Ilanor. As they are leaving, Nellie and Luna walk by. What were you two doing at Ilanor Elephant's house? Luna asks. Lama tells his friends the truth. Mama was giving me a swimming lesson he admits. I was nervous about going to the beach because I don't know how to swim. We could all use a little practice before hitting the waves, says Nellie. Mama Lama, were you giving us a lesson too? Mama Lama agrees. The next day, Lama's friends join him for another swimming lesson. There's even a surprise guest. Grandpa Lama. Lama is confused. Grandpa, what are you doing here? He asks. Your Mama told me you were afraid of getting in the water, says Grandpa. Well, so am I. I never learned how to swim. Lama Lama smiles. He can't believe it, but he's glad to have a swim body which is just as nervous as he is. We'll stick together. Kitto says Grandpa. Lama and his friends practice different kinds of swimming strokes. Luna shows everyone how to duck pedal. She kicks her legs and pedals her hands in the water. Everyone else gives it a try. Duck paddling is fun. Grandpa says Lama. We're Lama paddling. Grandpa laughs. By the end of their lesson, Lama Lama and Grandpa Lama swim all the way across the pool. You did it, everyone cheers. You swim bodies are ready for the beach tomorrow, Nellie said. The next day at the beach, Lama Lama's friends are by his side. Don't worry, says Nellie. You can do it. Just remember everything you learned at the pool, says Yulselet. Okay, says Lama. He takes a deep breath. Here goes. Lama waits into the water. It is cold and wet. The scent squishes under his feet. It feels great that something is missing. His swim body. Where's Grandpa? Lama asks. Lama sees his grandpa standing at the shore. He is scared to get in the water. Oh no, says Lama. I have to help him. There's a lot more water here than there was in the pool. Grandpa says nervously. Lama Lama takes his grandpa's hand. It's okay, says Lama. I'm your swim body. Remember? I'll be right by your side. Grandpa nods. You're right, he says. Let's do it. One foot at a time, Lama says, as they walk into the water. Hey, this feels pretty nice, says Grandpa. Especially because we're doing it together, says Lama. Lama Lama and Grandpa Lama float on the water. They toss a beach ball back and forth with Lama's friends, having so much fun. And then they go body boarding. Everybody ready? Oscar Nelly? Here comes the wave. Lama cheers. We're doing it, says Grandpa. Later, Lama Lama and Grandpa Lama visit Mama and Grand Malama on the beach. I'm really proud of you, says Mama. You faced your fears and got in the water. And now here are you, playing and swimming with everyone. Lama Lama and Grand Malama, both feel proud. Thanks Mama, says Lama. I guess you can teach an old Lama new tricks, says Grandpa. There's just one problem, says Grandpa Lama. We don't ever want to go home. You
