Good As Gold

The read

It runs a compact 1h 20m.

Synopsis

Grinding, gruelling and unceasing, Dennis Barker's training sessions push his young swimmers to the limits of their endurance. Outstanding among them is 14-year-old Rachel Southern. Destined for stardom perhaps, but also destined to realise that winning doesn't always mean coming first.
