Fins are moving Sneakily glide


I am swimming Hunting for prey
Salty ocean is my home Always silently watching
Hurry, a shark is coming! Ready for a chase
Krill, dolphins or YOU!
Dancing on the waves
Over the water I jump Over the waves
Long strides swimming Creeping under the water
Perfectly gliding Every type of creature
Happy and playful Animals that breathe underwater
I laugh all day Near the ocean floor
Never-ending adventures

Kicking and swimming, the fish escapes
