I felt like I was swimming with them
A great escape into a beautiful setting. The descriptions of the characters and settings made me feel like I was there with them. I loved all the characters with a mix of all ages and back stories. I wanted to be in the lake swimming with them. The narrator took a bit of getting used to but it was worth it. Well worth a listen.

Lighthearted feel good listening
This book was a wonderfully lighthearted, feel good read. There were some more serious elements in the reasons that each person swam but these were addressed with sensitivity and still maintaining the overall lightness of the story.
A welcome distraction from the stress of the world.
The narrator was excellent- her voice was clear and she was very easy to listen to.

Nice story but better to read than listen
Started reading then got the audio which was a mistake for me. Predictable story spoiled by the narration.

Lovely story
While it may have been a little predictable, the story was a relaxing listen.
I enjoyed it immensely and not every book needs a mystery to keep one’s interest.
Being over sixty I was at first a little put off by the elderly sounding Gracie but I got used to it and I was pleasantly surprised by her story (no spoilers).

More doggy paddle than free style
This book is fine. You know what you’re going to get before you even start listening, However it does not have the charm or subtlety of The Saturday Morning Park Run which while slightly predictable too had more nods to mental health, work-life balance and the non-physical benefits of fitness. This story by contrast is entertaining enough but for me lacked the warm glow of the previous one. Perhaps the difference was that I read the first book and listened to this one? Who knows!
Would I read/listen to a third one? Yes. Probably.

not as good as park run
I was looking forward to listening to this after the park run book which I loved, but was disappointed in this. The main characters weren't as interesting and my favourite part was the cameo of Claire and Hilda. Though it was great to see some lgbtq+ rep in the wlw couple :D
