A Boy In The Water by Tom Gregory
A candid memoir of a schoolboy in 1980s Britain who, driven by a demanding coach and grueling cold‑water training, becomes the youngest person to swim the English Channel. It evokes the fear, endurance, and exhilaration of long‑distance open water, examines the complex power dynamics between child and adults, and questions the ethics of pushing youth to extremes, while celebrating resilience and an extraordinary feat.
