The Three-Year Swim Club: The Untold Story of Maui's Sugar Ditch Kids and Their Quest for Olympic Glory by Julie Checkoway

5.0

I didn't want this book to end! I cried twice which rarely happens when I read a book.
The journey and courage of the coach and the athletes is inspirational today! Soichi Sakamoto made so many contributions to the sport of swimming, yet I had never heard his name until this book.
I'd recommend it to anyone who loves to swim, readers who are interested in history, and of course, Olympic junkies.
