SANDY WOLLMAN - A Good But Not Great Swimmer: How I Swam the English Channel 📓📖🇺🇸

We are pleased to share that Sandford (Sandy) Wollman, swimmer #470 (13 hours and 6 minutes), has recently published a book detailing his experience swimming the English Channel 30 years ago.

Sandy wrote this book to encourage readers to "Go For It," regardless of what their specific goal may be. His message is that if a "good but not great swimmer" can successfully cross the Channel, there are no limits to what anyone can accomplish with the right motivation.

Sandy worked with writing coach Glenn Stout, author of Young Woman and the Sea, the story of Gertrude Ederle.
