Everyone knows that Labrador Retrievers are at home in the water. Everyone, that is, except Lily, a lab puppy with a problem. As much as she wants to fetch a stick from the pond like the other dogs, she is uncomfortable with cold water and a murky bottom. She is happier following the trail of animals through the woods with her nose. Lily Learns to Swim tells the story of how a puppy discovers that when excitement is added to a new experience fears can quickly be overcome. Lily shares her story with two other Labs and the people in her family.
