Radiographer writes children’s book about learning to swim

A radiographer from England used inspiration from her other passion, swimming, to write a new children’s book.

Pina Hannan has been a radiographer for Sherwood Forest Hospitals for 30 years now. She also runs a side business teaching children and adults to swim. In a release put out by the Society of Radiographers (SoR), Hannan explained that the book takes kids through the various stages of learning how to swim.

“It’s always a great feeling to see children coming on leaps and bounds with their swimming when doing lessons alongside reading the book,” Hannan said. “I hope it can help even more children learn to swim and overcome their fears,”
