Summary: By a Fraction of a Second
Comment: I found this book very inspiring for athletes as well as for coaches. It gives in depth stories about real athletes and what makes them successful, how they deal with defeat and how they live their lives.
I highly recommend this book to any sports fan, especially to people that are passionate about swimming. There are great stories and everyone can learn something about what makes a champion!
This is an outstanding book to read before the 2004 Olympics Games because almost every single athlete listed in the book is still swimming and trying again to make the team. Go USA!

Summary: Beyond the lane lines
Comment: I'm not a swimmer. I've been a swim official and followed a swimming daughter for over a decade. This book brings the personality of swimmers to the forefront. It's a real page-turner, and you can experience vicariously the chlorine and the struggles that these young women encounter to be elite swimmers.
I recommend this book. As a librarian and a swim parent, I know how hard it is to find books for girls on swimming. This is a great read and gives long overdue attention to the sport. For the novice to the expert, there's material here to inform as well as entertain.
