Product Description
U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps more than met the world's expectations at the 2008 Olympic Games. He already had eight medals - two bronze and six gold - from the 2004 Olympics. He left Beijing with a history-making eight more golds - one for every race he entered. His fourteen golds are the record number for any Olympian - ever. In addition, he set seven world records at the Games. Follow this hard-working swimmer from his days as a talented seven-year-old through his amazing performance in Beijing. --This text refers to the Library Binding edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grandma's encouragement, January 18, 2007
This book can help a youngster understand the purpose of learning a sport and pushing a little harder than usual. My grandson finally realized why he was swimming laps and has helped him be a better swimmer. He's to young to read "Under the Surface" by himself, but he will grow into that book also.
