Annie and her family are going to the beach for a holiday.

Two surf lifesavers visit Annie’s school and she learns how to stay safe at the beach. Annie discovers that the ocean is changeable and is initially wary of the waves. With a little help from her family and the surf lifesavers Annie soon discovers the joys of swimming in the ocean.
