Overview

The amount of time and hard work it takes to become an elite level swimmer cannot be overstated. Tens of thousands of hours spent completing laps up and down in pools that are sometimes not adequately heated in the peak of winter: these are the unglamorous things we do not get to see. We only see lithe bodies cleaving the water as they speed like arrows towards their target. Every country in the world has its fair share of human fish who set records and brought glory and medals to their proud fellow citizens. This book, therefore, looks at the unique link between swimming legends and their nationalities. In the many trivia challenges you will meet within the pages of this book, you will be asked to match swimmers correctly with the countries they most recently represented. These questions have been carefully chosen so that even casual fans of the sport - those whose worlds begin and end with Phelps - will be able to get some of them right, and learn a whole lot. However, even the most dedicated fans might not be able to get a hundred percent on all challenges! This book focuses on legendary male swimmers: future books will look at female swimmers who set the pool on fire as well!
