The right answer is the speaker's family flees to America. In this captivating poem the speaker recalls the day when, as a little girl, she was told that they were unexpectedly leaving Ciudad Trujillo and going to the beach, so her daddy could "get some rest." Nevertheless, she soon realized that "something was off," but "didn't think adult things could go wrong." Very ingeniously, she describes the journey, or rather, the flight, to New York City as if she and her family were indeed swimming, although in very unknown waters, and resorting to terms such as "stroke," "raced," "pool," "swimmer" and "adrift," just to name a few.
