The Underwater Window - Paperback

by Dan Stephenson (Author)

Praise for The Underwater Window The Underwater Window starts fast and moves along with a 6-beat kick. Dan Stephenson knows swimming, and he brings out the richness of the sport. But you don't need to be a swim- mer to enjoy this great story of friendship and rivalry. - ROWDY GAINES, 3-time Olympic swimming gold medalist There's romance in this story, just below the surface. What's most endearing about Doyle Wilson is not the all-consuming pursuit of his swimming goals, but his growing awareness that there's more to life, and that swimming is preparing him for it. I enjoyed this book immensely. - JANET EVANS WILLSON, 4-time Olympic swimming gold medalist On many occasions, I caught myself saying, "Yeah, that's exactly what it was like."

I highly recommend this book to swimmers and non-swimmers alike. - BRIAN GOODELL, 2-time Olympic swimming gold medalist SWIMMING HAS BROUGHT ARCHIE HAYES MEDALS, fame, money and women.
