Children's Books about SWIMMING!

Summertime (and Arizona) are for swimming!
I have a reluctant swimmer (if that's a thing) & the other sibling LOVES getting wet & going swimming. So, I thought checking out some books about swimming would help the reluctant one & here's some cute books I found along the way. I also added a few mermaid books, for those of you with children who live in the water. Hope you enjoy them!
