Off The Deep End by W. Hodding Carter

As someone in midlife, I was looking for a book that was inspirational in terms of getting fit or being athletically competitive. Subtitled "The Probably Insane Idea That I Could Swim My Way Through a Midlife Crisis-And Qualify For The Olympics," I did not get motivated from reading Carter's pursuit. Maybe it was because this book was primarily about swimming....

The most interesting part of the book was about Mark Spitz and his failed attempt to qualify for the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona.

If Dina Torres (US. Silver Medalist in swimming) writes a book, that might motivate me....
