The Big Race at Ridge Bay

The Great Race At Blue Ridge Bay: On your marks... Get set... SPLASH! In the sparkling world of Blue Ridge Bay, four best friends are ready for a big adventure. There's Kris the "wiggly noodle" fish, Crystal the spinning angelfish, Lippy the belly-flopping gecko, and Oms the goggle-wearing, hug-giving panda. They all love the water, but they have one big question: Who is the fastest swimmer of them all? When Lippy challenges the group to a grand race across the bay, the competition is on! But as the race begins, the friends quickly realize that being the "coolest" or "smoothest" swimmer isn't enough when surprises wait beneath the surface. From squiggly seaweed tangles to unexpected nets and mid-paddle cramps, the path to the finish line is full of "Uh-ohs!" Will Oms' "Super Panda Speed" be enough to win? Or will the friends discover that the best part of a race isn't reaching the finish line, it's who you're racing with?
