Hanan accompanies her brother to classes in the public pool. The first swimming badge is called the "Seahorse", their instructor explains, because it does not drown. When Hanan came to Europe in a rubber dinghy, she could not swim. To overcome this experience, she learned to keep afloat in the water – like a seahorse.
