Why read it?
1 author picked Outside the Lanes as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
From the intensity of her competitive pool swimming to long-distance swimming, what impacted me most was Becca's candid description of her mindset, feelings, shortcomings, and life as an athlete.
Becca admits that she traded a normal life in exchange for chasing her dreams, which required intensity. My favorite part was the story of her Hawaiian island channel crossings.

From Lynn's list on marathon swimmers who pushed their limits.
