Emily and her mother live on a houseboat and Emily longs to venture into the ocean like the other kids, but mom says it's too dangerous and she's never learned to swim. Then her school offers swimming lessons. Emily is excited to start, but her body starts to change in the water. The ocean calls her.

As this initial episode ends after Emily's discovery, she has 'a feeling the adventures had only just begun!'
