Cai 1.4

A joyful boy, pale skin and oversized swim trunks, with green rimmed goggles attached to his head.  A boy with wet blond hair, a grandiose smile, and chlorinated water droplets meandering down his wet body.  A boy who has been in and out of the pool, practicing his strokes, squealing and paddling; who jumped and splashed, worked and succeeded; and whose body expresses joie de vivre as he pounces off the diving board. --After Charles Dickens (This is based on an observation at Cai's swim class during the week of 3 July) Please feel free to make constructive comments on this description
