Age Is Just a Number: Achieve Your Dreams at Any Stage in Your Life by Dara Torres, Elizabeth Weil

4.0

3 stars for non swimmers, 4 stars for swimmers. While everyone can take away something from this book, I believe this book was written for swimmers. There is something so special and sacred about swimming, there is an energetic bond swimmers feel with the pool, the sport and other swimmers (albeit competitors may pinch themselves off from feeling this bond). This book taps into that essence and communicates the life of a swimmer. Former swimmers will instantly feel the connection and spark again. I'm unsure if a bookworm would be left with a post good read satisfaction bliss, though they may walk away feeling a little inspired to accomplish their dreams.
