Description

Fast Lane to Victory: The Story of Jenny Thompson Jenny Thompson grew up in a working class New England coastal town with a single mom and three older brothers.

As her family struggled to make ends meet, Jenny found a bounty of good fortune and success in the swimming pool.

The family folklore maintains that Jenny could swim before she could walk.

This water baby went on to win eight Olympic Gold medals as one of the fastest female swimmers in the world.

Jenny had to deal with some hardships, including wearing a brace for scoliosis and being teased about being so tall and strong. And she did it with her constant positive outlook and rugged determination to succeed.

This story lets the young reader know that being competitive is okay for girls and that dreams really do come true.
