1) I wonder what that guy Andy thinks of her book. She writes that the rest of her team was holding her back during the Catalina Channel swim, then at the end, the boys couldn’t handle the cold any longer so they swam ahead while she stayed back with the other girl. Then Andy bragged to reporters how he felt so strong and was able to finish faster than the girls.

She’s obviously talented, determined, motivated, and extremely hard working, but it is easy to see the benefit of her family’s privilege. Moving across the country just so her and her siblings (while still in elementary school) could train with an Olympic coach. then paying for another coach to do one-on-one ocean sessions with her, then her and her mother staying in England for the summer to swim the Channel…

It’s weird how she mentions that every adult she interacts with wants to “make sure her parents weren’t pushing her to do this” (swim the English Channel). It makes me question her parents’ role in it all.

She says when she was 12 years olds, she would lift up her 220 lb swim coach and hold him over the side of the pool!?
