MEET THE CREATURES
Shark. Not the best surfing companion, but always happy to join you. Had his 15 minutes of fame on the show Mako-ver.
Crab. Has her eyes on everyone, while always keeping her guard up. She is a good friend to have in a pinch.
Baby Humpback. Loves to jump up to the sky then make a big splash, almost as much as swimming around in his bubbles.
Sea Turtle. Goes with the flow. Can seem a little hard on the outside, but is really soft-hearted and sweet.
Swimming Mermaid. Watching her swim is mesmerizing, as her fluid movements are a picture of beauty and grace.
Grenade Fish. Booming personality with fragmented thinking. His favorite expression is “pull my pin!”
Manta Ray. She swims with the freedom of a bird gliding through the sky and loves to dance and spin with her partner Josh.
Manta Ray. Quiet and smooth is Josh’s way of swimming through the clear blue water. He and Jamie love wearing their “Ray”- bans as the cruise through the Hawaiian Islands.
Dolphin. Graceful, funny and always wears a smile. Lily loves to swim in circles while playing with her sister Molly.
Turtle. Seems to always have good luck, because he’s willing to stick his neck out. Refuses to eat “shell” fish.
Dolphin. Fun and playful! Molly loves to swim around boats, jump and spin and spend time with her sister Lily.
Jellyfish. Has a habit of spreading himself too thin and words stick to the roof of his mouth. Wait, what’s a mouth???
Clown Fish. Known to be very friendly and talkative. Percy loves the ocean and swimming with friends.
Puffer Fish. Known to be very nervous and long-winded. She is cute, but can be a little prickly at times.
Humuhumunukunukuapua’a. Loves swimming along with her brother Nuku, because Ohana (family) is important.
Mermaid. Loves to brush her hair while sitting on the rocks and talking with all the lovely sea creatures swimming around her.
Fan Coral. A real fan of reefs. Waves to all creatures who swim by and typically goes with the flow.
Breeching Daddy Humpback. Loves to launch himself high above the water and splash down with the sound of thunder.
Nautilus. The oldest creature on the planet, other than Joan Rivers. Stays youthful by swimming and loves the sound of the ocean.
Needle Fish. Loves small group swim lessons with friends. Tends to stretch the truth, but don’t call him Pinocchio.
Sailboat. Trade winds & salt-water spray make for a perfect day. Often heard saying, “Hey, whatever floats your boat”.
Starfish. A happy little guy who loves to give hi-fives. Always puts a twinkle in his mother’s eye.
Jellyfish. Used to believe he was the lead singer of a rock band, but realized he had no mouth. Now he just floats through life shocking his friends.
Octopus. Super smart! Counts to eight on her arms and is a three-time Twister world champion. Prefers ink pens over pencils.
Yellow Tang. Her personality will never be eclipsed by a few clouds. Can’t decide whether her favorite song is “Sunshine of Your Love” or “You Are My Sunshine”.
