The Three-Year Swim Club: The Untold Story of Maui's Sugar Ditch Kids and Their Quest for Olympic Glory by Julie Checkoway
4.0
Swimming AND history?! I had to pick it up when I saw it at the library. The author does a great job giving enough information for context, but not boggling you down with unimportant and confusing facts. I also think you’d be able to understand things if you don’t know swimming jargon (which thankfully I do know).
I learned a lot and it was so interesting to me to learn more about the Olympics - especially in my favorite event other than synchro. It was amazing to see how the members of the Three Year Swim Club transformed the sport as a whole. The swimmers of the 3YSC deserve far more recognition than they’re given, so I’m glad this book exists.
