Thereโ€™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:

โ€œOur Poolโ€ by Lucy Ruth Cummins

โ€œTiny Barbarian Conquers the Krakenโ€ by Ame Dyckman

โ€œTogether We Swimโ€ by Valerie Bolling

โ€œThe Cool Bean Makes a Splashโ€ by Jory John
