There’s nothing like a refreshing dip in the pool on hot summer days. But if a pool day is not in the cards, try cooling off with a refreshing swimming-themed read.

Here are four books recommended by your friends at Pima County Public Library:

β€œOur Pool” by Lucy Ruth Cummins

β€œTiny Barbarian Conquers the Kraken” by Ame Dyckman

β€œTogether We Swim” by Valerie Bolling

β€œThe Cool Bean Makes a Splash” by Jory John
