Pool School

Kim’s first swimming lesson makes her feel like a fish out of water. But once she meets Coach Goldie, a talking goldendoodle and expert swimmer, she’s ready to dive right in! Will Kim’s first lesson be a total bellyflop, or will she and her new friends kick up some fun and make a splash?
