Why read it?
1 author picked Swim Team as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
My favorite thing about this graphic novel is easily the Black history that is woven into this fictional story. As someone who’s always struggled with anxiety, I love how the main character’s anxiety is depicted in the story.

From Misty's list on graphic novels featuring girls who persevere.
