      Mindy Kim Makes a Splash! - Lyla Lee

      Chapter

      1

      My name is Mindy Kim. I am nine years old, and I don’t know how to swim.

      I can splash around in shallow water and swim with floaties and inflatable tubes if I have to. But I never really learned how to swim swim. And I thought I wouldn’t have to learn anytime soon… until one day we got permission slips passed around in our PE class.

      We’re going to start our swimming unit in PE soon, said Coach Jenkins. That means we’ll start having PE in the community pool next to our school, instead of the gym. Be sure to tell your parents!

      All the kids in the class cheered.

      Yay, I love swimming! said my best friend, Sally. I can’t wait to go to the pool during PE!

      Everyone seemed really happy about the news.

      When she noticed that I wasn’t smiling and cheering like everyone else, Sally asked, What’s wrong, Mindy? Do you not like to swim?

      I glanced around to check if anyone was listening and whispered so only Sally could hear, I don’t know how.

      "What? Sally looked shocked. Did you not learn how to swim? We all learned when we were little!"

      I shook my head. We never learned how in my old school in San Francisco. We just always had PE at the gym! And my dad never signed me up for lessons or anything either.

      Oh… Sally scratched her chin. I guess that makes sense. Here everyone learns to swim pretty early, I think. Since we live so close to the beach and all. But wait a minute. Isn’t San Francisco also close to the beach?

      I nod. Yeah, but the water is usually too cold to swim in it. The beaches there are different from the ones here. A lot of my friends at my old school didn’t know how to swim either.

      Sally wrinkled her nose. That sucks. Well, the permission slip says that you don’t have to participate if you don’t know how to swim. Maybe you can do something else instead?

      Maybe! I nodded, but deep inside, I felt sad. I didn’t want to be the only one in my class who wasn’t in the water having fun during PE.

      It’s also not too late for you to get swim lessons! Sally added. I think the beginner classes at the community pool are usually for little kids, but maybe you can join in!

      I perked up. That’s a great idea, Sally! I’m going to ask my dad if he can sign me up.

      Maybe there was hope after all!

      Later that evening, my family and I sat at the table for dinner. Today we were eating bibimbap along with some dumplings that my new stepmom, Julie, had made. Since Dad and I are Korean and Julie is Chinese, we always try to eat food from both our cultures as much as we can.

      Dad and Julie had recently gotten back from their honeymoon, so they still
