The situation
Theo was starting swimming lessons. He'd never been in a big pool before. Standing at the edge in his armbands, the water looked deep and the room was loud and echoey. Theo held onto the rail. His tummy felt tight. The other children were getting in, but Theo wasn't sure he could. (Feeling words: Nervous · Unsure)
