Without a proper pool to swim in, Sakamoto trained his team in irrigation ditches and coached the kids to swim against the natural current, building up the swimmers' strength and endurance. The team overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles and surged onto the national swimming scene, dominating events both in the United States and across the world. Almost lost to history, the sugar ditch kids' story is an inspiration to athletes around the world."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library J -- Hawaiian Nonfiction H 797.2106 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library J -- Hawaiian Nonfiction H 797.2106 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library J -- Hawaiian Nonfiction H 797.2106 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library J -- Hawaiian Nonfiction H 797.2106 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hana P/S Library J -- Hawaiian Nonfiction H 797.2106 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library J -- Hawaiian Nonfiction H 797.2106 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library J -- Juvenile Hawaiian H 797.2106 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library J -- Hawaiian Nonfiction H 797.2106 Abery Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library J -- Hawaiian Nonfiction H 797.2106 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library J -- Hawaiian Nonfiction H 797.2106 Ab Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 4 Next
