What an absolutely fantastic read. This book is about a girl and her father moving to a new town so he can get a better job and make their life better. We follow Bree as she navigates a new middle school in tropical Florida and finds out that it’s about time she learns to swim. However, Bree thinks that she’s too old to learn how to swim, and that Black people don’t swim. She gets a history lesson in why that stereotype exists from somebody in their apartment complex who herself was a state champion swimmer. This starts Bree’s adventure to joining the swim team and finding out that you can do anything you put your mind. She also realizes it doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor, black or white, anybody can swim, anybody can have fun in the water, and anybody can go to state finals.
