This poem describes how the summer the speaker learned to be at peace with themselves was the same summer that someone else learned to swim. In May, the other person was afraid to put their face in the water when swimming, but by August they had gained confidence and were diving into the pool, showing their progress over the summer months in overcoming their fear of swimming.
