Dear Mr. Phelps,

I hope you received my last blog post that I wrote to you. I still hope you can be my coach so I can learn how to swim. When I was in Canfield, Ohio for my family's hootenanny, the hotel had a pool. Mommy thought this would be a good chance for me to have my first "dip in the pool". I think you can tell from my photo, I was nervous. But I really wanted to put my bathing suit to good use, and figure out this swimming thing.
