She stands ready. The 5 little boys she swims with each take their turn, diving into the water in their own unique way - some head first, some belly first. They're all doing their very best.
It's her turn. She lifts her arms into the dive position. Her teacher counts down. She dives - and for the first time she hasn't asked that I stand in front of her. She goes under the water, surfaces, turns around and starts to head back to the pole. She's got it! She wins the trophy and screams with pride and delight.
