The Swim Club

When Karen's husband drowns off the postcard-perfect Queensland coast, four friends

realise they are no longer happy to just tread water in the shallow end of the local pool.

Karen wants distraction from the grief that threatens to overwhelm her - and she needs to

feel that she could save a drowning swimmer if she had to. Charlie, a divorced mother of two

young boys, needs to get fit - and get back into the swim of dating. Then there's Cate, newly

married to a much older man; Laura, the dependable town doctor; and Wendy, brisk and

capable. And all of them have secrets As their strokes improve, their friendship deepens and

along the way they share tears, laughter and changing-room confidences.
