Billy hates swimming. It's cold and wet and horrible. And just when Billy thinks things can't get any worse, his pet Mini Monsters turn up at his swimming lesson and make one very big splash...
Quick Summary

When his mischievous Mini Monsters show up uninvited, they turn the pool into a splashy, silly adventure that helps Billy see that swimming can actually be a lot of fun when you've got friends cheering you on.
