Publisher's Synopsis
Swimming, when done by someone who has been swimming competitively since they were very young, is a sublime art. There is something about the juxtaposition of the element of water with the extremely athletic body of a swimmer that makes it both aesthetically appealing and competitively fulfilling.
This book is about World level and Olympic swimmers who set the pool on fire. Not everyone is a Phelps, but there are thousands who almost reached that level, from Spitz back in the day, to Thorpe more recently.
Can you cast your memory back to the time when swimmers ruled the world, and try to guess every question correctly? Let's find out!
