What's This Book About
Publisher Summary
When Jerry Grayson turns to the swimming pool to help heal his baseball injury, he never suspects that he will become interested in the sport of competitive swimming. To Jerry, swimming is relatively tame stuff, until the day he catches the last part of a swim meet. After watching the quick starts, photo finishes, and powerful strokes, he finds himself wondering if there isn’t more to this sport than he thought. But does he have what it takes to make a real splash?
