Leo is a baby sea turtle. Sea turtles need to swim to survive. He's sure he could if one of his flippers wasn't shorter than the others. He tries a few crazy fixes but when none of them result in his being able to swim; Leo loses hope. A chance meeting with a starfish that has one arm smaller than the other four gives Leo the idea and determination to learn. When a giant ghost crab threatens his cousin Elliott, Leo leaps into the ocean to save him forgetting all about his fears.
Leo Learns to Swim helps children learn to be successful by focusing on their strengths rather than their weaknesses.
