Testing the Water

  • Lifeguards are the people who work at a beach or swimming pool. They rescue people when they are in danger of drowning (verdrinken).
  • Looks can be deceiving means that something can be very different from how it seems or appears to be.
  • If you float on water, you are on the surface (oppervlakte) of the water. Not completely in water.
  • A starfish is a flat, star-shaped creature with five arms that lives in the sea.
  • When you are in the sea with your ears immersed, your ears are completely in water.
