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

I wasn't afraid of the ocean. I wasn't afraid of the unseen depths beneath the water, or what lurked below.

I was afraid of being trapped in my own mind.

Record-breaking swimmer Becca Mann was a young swimming prodigy. A two-time USA National champion, she was the youngest person ever to place in the Top 10 in four events at a single Olympic Trials and represented Team USA at four World Championships. But after years of sacrifice, relentless drive, and coming heartbreakingly close to Olympic glory-three times-Becca's dreams came crashing down.

In Outside the Lanes, Becca shares her journey from the disappointment of Olympic defeat to making history as the first-and only-person to conquer the grueling, 21-hour, 40-mile Maui Nui Tri-Channel Crossing. She also opens up about the mental battles that shaped her- confronting the sacrifices she endured, OCD, and the relentless pressure to succeed.

More than just a story of a young athlete, Outside the Lanes is a powerful exploration of resilience, reinvention, and redefining what it means to win. This is an inspiring read for anyone who has ever dared to chase a dream by adventuring outside the lanes.
