Story
Many people will remember Eric Liddell as the Olympic gold medalist from the Academy Award-winning film Chariots of Fire. Famously, Liddell would not run on Sunday because of his strict observance of the Christian Sabbath, and so he did not compete in his signature event, the 100 meters, at the 1924 Paris Olympics. He was the greatest sprinter in the world at the time, and his choice not to run was ridiculed by the British Olympic committee, his fellow athletes, and most of the world press.

Can a serious pro swimmer turn a lingerie model into a “real” swim beast over one rocky, lusty summer? “You can’t mean you’re going to swim in that?” he said, oozing disbelief from every syllable. His eyes took her in, from head to toe, but instead of the admiration she was used to getting, he was looking—what—amused? No way. Jack LaGuardia’s been hired to teach supermodel Kelsey Carlisle to swim for a movie, but he doesn’t know if it can be done. She’s a Victoria’s Secret underwear model, for crying out loud. And Kelsey doesn’t know if she can learn anything from ...

On the surface, young Charles had it all: high-society parents, a place at an exclusive New York City prep school, summer vacations in the Adirondacks. But the scrawny teenager suffered from extreme anxiety thanks to a sadistic father who mired the family in bankruptcy and scandal before abandoning Charles and his mother altogether. Charles’s only source of joy was swimming. But with no one to teach him, he struggled with technique—until he caught the eye of two immigrant coaches.

Story
In 1937, a schoolteacher on the island of Maui challenged a group of poverty-stricken sugar plantation kids to swim upstream against the current of their circumstance. The goal? To become Olympians. They faced seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The children were Japanese-American, were malnourished and barefoot, and had no pool; they trained in the filthy irrigation ditches that snaked down from the mountains into the sugarcane fields.
