T. J.'s efforts to recruit a swim team result in an unlikely group of misfits. Ironically, his first recruit is Chris Coughlin, whom T. J. sees helping a little girl with shriveled arms paddle a kickboard across the pool. Like T. J., even though he is the victim of intolerance, Chris is capable of great compassion toward the less fortunate. The rest of the team is comprised of Daniel Hole, a geek; Simon DeLong, a three-hundred-pound young man who looks nothing like an athlete; Jackie Craig, a totally non-descript young man who never speaks; Andy Mott, a swimmer with only one leg; and Tay Roy, a massive bench presser who is burned-out on wrestling. With this motley group, T. J. intends to show up Barbour and others like him by earning a letter jacket for every member of the swim team.
