Just Add Water: My Swimming Life by Katie Ledecky
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Writers are told to include tension in their writing. I don’t like tension. There are always goals and needs to take care of, but I really don’t believe tension and negativity are needed to lead a book. This book was led by Katie Ledecky, her wishes and excitement in the water. Such a relief!
My inner child wants to be Katie Ledecky when I grow up. I started swimming lessons when I was 12. I see now that I was too old, but my early dreams never found the footing to fly. (I’m 74 now.) Through this book, I see how it can be for kids now. Her family, coaches, and friends were supportive. The drive Katie had was supported. Isn’t it nice to read an autobiography that shares that positivity? Aim for something. Support others’ dreams and goals. No one loses out with that kind of love.
Libby supplied this audiobook. I highly recommend this inspirational splash of fun and focus.
