How to Get to Swim in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

Link is not able to swim in "The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap" until he finds the Flippers. This is a special item that is located in the library in Hyrule Town. The area the Flippers are located in becomes accessible when he returns the three library books. The main quest of the game cannot be completed without Link getting the ability to swim.
