. I will be amazed if you can find this book as I think it was just published locally in the UK. It was written by a mother who does swimming lessons I think. It is a small book, paperback, pretty sure the title is “Going Swimming”. It is about a boy william and his mother and baby sister Vicky going swimming. William has a swimming lesson. At the end they all have a cup of tea and biscuit. On the back of the book is a black and white photograph of the author with her daughter swimming in a pool. The pictures in the book are very distinct, they are quite lifelike, the children are quite ugly! It is strange because white children in the book have not been “coloured” in and black children in the book have a sort of grey hue to their skin. I think it was very cheaply published, maybe even as an educational book for a local council???

I can decribe the book in much more detail if you want but don’t know the author or illustartor. It is so annoying. It is a childhood book of mine which I have now been reading to my daughter so I remmeber it clearly as we have only just lost it recently (2 weeks ago). Because it is so old and obscure I have not been able to find it on google searches. If you can find it I will be so happy!!
