About this ebook
This short story is dedicated to college swimmers and coaches everywhere, especially those impacted by program cuts.
Fictional college swimmer Blake Wemberly and his teammates are devastated when their school announces it will drop its collegiate swimming program. Resentment and hostility are gradually replaced by commitment and pride as the swimmers strive to honor themselves and their dying program in their last hurrah.
The life lesson that Blake learns about coping with change is chronicled in emails, letters, journal entries, and text messages starting on the day he receives the terrible news.
The story is inspired by true events. All characters, locations, and communications are fictional.
