By Proteeti Sinha, Swimming World College Intern.<\/em><\/p>\n

We all can agree that swimming is the best sport in the world. We also know that many athletes enjoy reading as a way to enrich their minds and draw inspiration. What better way to engage with your favorite sport while motivating yourself to achieve your goals than by reading books about swimming, written by swimmers?<\/p>\n

With the 2020 Tokyo Olympics quickly approaching, here are five memoirs from Olympic champions that all swimmers should read!<\/p>\n

1. Making Waves: My Journey to Winning Olympic Gold and Defeating the East German Doping Program<\/em>, by Chris Epting and Shirley Babashoff<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At the 1976 Montreal Olympics \u2013 the height of the East German doping scandal \u2013 Shirley Babashoff<\/strong> won five medals: four silver and one gold. In her memoir, she talks about her suspicions about the East German women who had deep voices, seemed masculine and barely looked tired after swimming their races. Despite swimming best times, Babashoff placed second in all her best events. Refusing to congratulate the East German winners, she was given the unfortunate nickname of \u201cSurly Shirley.\u201d The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1991, however, led to revelations about the state-sponsored doping scheme in East Germany. This proved Babashoff right, but the East German winners were never stripped of their gold medals. Babashoff\u2019s book is a story of resilience, grit and will power. It is an exceptional book that every swimmer should read.<\/p>\n

2. Swimming Toward the Gold Lining: How Jessica Hardy Turned Her Wounds Into Wisdom<\/em><\/strong>, by Jessica Hardy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This memoir focuses on Jessica Hardy\u2019s<\/strong> journey: dealing with failure, great successes, failing a drug test, and an awe-inspiring comeback. Hardy\u2019s sheer determination and spirit shines through in this book. In Federal Way, Wash., shortly after her name was cleared, she time-trialed the 50 breaststroke and broke the World Record. Her time was 29.95, thus making her the first woman to breach the 30 second barrier. The very next day, she lowered the 100 breaststroke World Record, in the process re-breaking her own 50-meter world record with a split time of 29.80. Swimming Towards the Gold<\/em> Lining<\/em> is an inspirational read.<\/p>\n

3. Body Lengths<\/em>, by Leisel Jones and Felicity McLean<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In a brave retelling of her story, Leisel Jones<\/strong> talks about her journey to winning an individual Olympic gold, life in the spotlight, and the obstacles along the way. Jones offers a candid and sometimes alarming insight into the very real body image issues that many athletes face. Her book highlights the need to have conversations about the sensitive but important topics of mental wellness and having a positive body image. One of the greatest breaststrokers in history, Jones\u2019 story is one of courage, heartbreak, and grit \u2013 a book that should not be missed.<\/p>\n

4. <\/strong>No Limits: The Will to Succeed, <\/strong><\/em>by Michael Phelps and Alan Abrahamson<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Focusing on Michael Phelps\u2019<\/strong> historic eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics, this memoir is both motivational and humorous with strong emotional undertones. It probably seems silly to call this book a classic, but in the swimming memoir universe, this book is one of a kind. Above all, it reminds you to set big goals and keep striving to reach them. From the mysterious dreams of 3:07 to Phelps-recommended food spots in Ann Arbor, Mich., this is surely a page-turner. There\u2019s a whole section devoted to his orders from his favorite eateries! Even if you don\u2019t like reading about food, this is a must-read for everybody.<\/p>\n

5. <\/strong>Relentless Spirit: The Unconventional Raising of a Champion, <\/strong><\/em>by Missy Franklin, D.A. Franklin, Dick Franklin and Daniel Paisner<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Written by Missy Franklin <\/strong>and her parents, this incredible book offers a unique insight into Franklin\u2019s journey. It speaks of her greatest successes in contrast with her biggest disappointments. Her indomitable spirit shines through every page. Franklin talks about her faith, friendships, training and family. Notably, Franklin\u2019s parents also talk about their perspective of her swimming career \u2013 thus making this a great read for both swimmers and swim parents!<\/p>\n
