Twelve-year-old Ellie McCartney has always felt most at home in the water. Swimming isn't just a sport--it's her escape. But when her new school's swim team becomes more competitive than she ever imagined, Ellie finds herself struggling to keep up with high expectations, jealous teammates, and the pressure to be perfect. When an unexpected challenge threatens her spot on the team, Ellie must dig deep to discover what truly makes her a champion. With the help of a few surprising friends and the courage to believe in herself, Ellie learns that being strong doesn't always mean winning--and that sometimes the biggest victories happen inside. Full of heart, friendship, and the thrill of the race, Ellie McCartney: The Swimming is an inspiring story about resilience, finding your voice, and diving in--even when it's hard.
