Alex McDonnell has been hiding her true self behind a wall of fear ever since her best friend died. Alex has been well known in the swimming world ever since she won gold at PanPacs. PanPacs is coming up again and her coach wants her back in the water, but ever since her best friend died swimming, under Alex’s watch, Alex refuses to go near water. Even though she hasn’t practiced in months, her mother still wants her to go. Even though she doesn’t want to, her mother’s pressure is rough.
After having a heart to heart conversation with her beloved coach, they come up with a plan to get back into swimming again: Alex would teach Janie, the coach’s daughter, how to swim.
Alex is excited for her project, but once she finds out that Janie refuses to swim also, there is only one way to teach her: for Alex to get in the water herself.(CC) Attrib. NonComm. NoDerivs
