Aqua Blue: Visions of a Swimmer

By Truett Lee Vaigneur Jr. EdD and Corlette Douglas

Vivian is a young girl whom everyone calls Visions, because when she swims, she is a vision, creating beautiful splashes of blue water. She learns to swim at age two and quickly becomes a star, winning contests and joining the swim team. Then, when she turns six, she receives a cat as a birthday present. She names it Aqua Blue, and the cat becomes her friend for life and the one who sees her story unfold.

A year later, when she is seven, Visions begins feeling a lot of pain in her back. Her parents take her to the doctor, who tells them that she must have an operation. She goes to the hospital for a few weeks, and when she returns, she is in a wheelchair. Visions is sad at first, but she is determined to swim again. She won’t let anything stop her! Can her hard work and determination help her to swim again?

Narrated by the family cat, this children’s story tells the tale of a young swimmer who must learn to swim again after an operation leaves her partially paralyzed.
