Swimming hm....I never thought about it as something which influences on someone, especially on kids. That may be due to reason that I went to swimming school and never had a fear of it or fear of drowning and similar. From the view of children I think that this is an excellent book. You can read it to your kid or read with your kid slowly going through it describing all important situations in which your toddler can encounter. I just remembered that I had a fear of deep water, but my instructor washed it away haha

Its very important to know how to react in certain situations, and by adopting every you will read it will give you a better insight in all. Anyway, I recommend this book to everyone. It is written in a very imaginative and child related way. A++++++++++++
