In 1937, a schoolteacher on the island of Maui challenged a group of poverty-stricken sugar plantation kids to swim upstream against the current of their circumstance. The goal? To become Olympians. They faced seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The children were Japanese-American, were malnourished and barefoot, and had no pool; they trained in the filthy irrigation ditches that snaked down from the mountains into the sugarcane fields.

What does it take to be great ?

This was a very long story, sharing the historical significance of the three year swim team and the legacy of Maui swimmers, coaches and Olympians!
I am not a swimmer so much of the data times and swimming terminology that was included is probably significant to those who understand.
I loved the inspiration of greatness, dedication and the passion told by a simple teacher who changed the lives of children in an epic and noble manner.
