While swimming, Alex meets Dusty a dolphin on vacation from Mexico swimming north up the coast, Dusty informed Alex he's caught in a riptide and to recall the advise Laura his mother gave him about how to get out of the riptide if caught in it. Alex remembered to swim sideways to the shore until he is out of the riptide. This allows Alex to swim out of the riptide and safely return to shore where his mother is waiting to take him home. Finally on his way home Alex already starts to think of what adventure he wants to experience next weekend.
