Record-breaking swimmer Becca Mann shares how she turned her failed Olympic dreams into making history as the first--and only--person to ever swim the 21-hour Maui Nui Tri-Channel Crossing

Becca Mann was born to swim. With a fierce determination and a passion for the water, she chased her dreams from the chlorine-soaked pools of her hometown to the elite ranks of the USA National Team. But after she poured her heart into the sport for decades, Becca's dreams came crashing down when she narrowly missed the Olympics three times.

In Outside the Lanes, Becca shares the highs and lows of her swimming career with unflinching honesty and a splash of humor. But this isn't just a story about swimming. It's a story about a girl who refused to be defined by the expectations of others and had the courage to chart her own course. As Becca navigates self-doubt, injury, and the nagging question of "is it all worth it?" she discovers that true success isn't measured by the medals around her neck, but by the strength of her spirit and the depth of her resilience.

Determined to push her limits even further, Becca sets her sights on becoming the first person to complete the grueling 40-mile Maui Nui Tri-Channel Crossing. As she trains, Becca must confront her deepest fears and prove she has what it takes to make history.

Becca's story is a splash-of-cold-water wake-up call for anyone who's chased a dream or felt lost in the pursuit of perfection. With heart, humor, and saltwater-scented wisdom, Becca shows us that life's greatest adventures happen when we dare to swim outside the lanes.
