Floating for Survival
When three young turtles go for a swim, they meet their wise Aunt Goldie, who gently reminds them of the survival swim skills every child should know. With warmth and calm guidance, she teaches them the power of floating - to rest, feel confident, and call for help when it's needed most.
Floating for Survival is a heartwarming story that introduces young children to essential water safety in a fun, reassuring, and memorable way.
