Bree canât wait for her first day at her new middle school, Enith Brigitha, home to the Mighty Manateesâuntil sheâs stuck with the only elective that fits her schedule, the dreaded Swim 101. The thought of swimming makes Bree more than a little queasy, yet sheâs forced to dive headfirst into one of her greatest fears.

With Ettaâs training and a lot of hard work, Bree suddenly finds her swim-crazed community counting on her to turn the schoolâs failing team around. But thatâs easier said than done, especially when their rival, the prestigious Holyoke Prep, has everything they need to leave the Mighty Manatees in their wake.
Can Bree defy the odds and guide her team to a state championship, or have the Manatees swum their last lapâfor good?
