Bree can't wait for her first day at her new middle school, Enith Brigitha, home to the Mighty Manatees - until she's stuck with the only elective that fits her schedule: the dreaded Swim 101. The thought of swimming makes Bree more than a little queasy, yet she's forced to dive headfirst into one of her greatest fears. Lucky for her, Etta - an elderly occupant of her apartment building and former swim team captain - is willing to help. -- Front jacket flap.
