Nine-year-old Gwen Rivers loves the pool-but joining the squad means more than fast arms and lucky socks. With Coach Jess's calm tips, Lily and Bea at her side, and little brother Ben's ridiculous shark face in the gallery, Gwen learns to breathe through nerves, trust the glide, and finish what she starts. First races, first PBs, and a relay dream

Perfect for early chapter-book readers, classroom libraries, swim families, and anyone who remembers what it felt like to try something big for the first time.
