Swimming with Faith

I loved this book for young children because it gives them a role model to follow. We have all heard of Ben Carson, Tim Tebow, and Jeremy Lin as Christian leaders on the field, on the court and even in the surgery room.
What I have never heard of before was a young Christian swimmer until I received this book. Missy Franklin is one of the most talented swimmers in the world. She is a four-time Olympic gold medalist and currently holds the world record in the 200-meter backstroke and American records in both the 100-meter and 200-meter backstroke. She was Swimming World’s World Swimmer of the Year and the American Swimmer of the Year in 2012. This story tells of her rise in fame and humbleness in the sport.
