Splash is a fresh and relevant narrative that dives into the hugely important theme of body image as well as the transition to secondary school, friendship, parental absence and the benefits of sport. The book lives up to its subtitle; 10,000 years of swimming as it starts in the driest part of the world, southeastern Egypt, with 10,000 year old cave paintings of people apparently swimming. The book's beginning is also evident of the thoroughness that often pops up in the book, the author, an avid lifelong swimmer, is not content to rely on the cave paintings. He describes other research in nearby areas that show skeletal evidence of hippos, crocodiles, and Nile perch from that area and time and finally ties in evidence of the earth's wobbling in the orbit which would explain why there would be so much water at the time. Six subject-themed chapters explore landscapes, close-ups, animals, urban scenes, still lifes, machines and people

Esu visiškai tikra, kad istorijos, kurias aš skaičiau paauglystėje, skiriasi kaip diena ir naktis nuo tų, kurios yra rašomos šiandien. Tuomet istorijose vyravo lauko žaidimai, draugystės, sveika konkurencija, o dabar kalbama apie populiarumą, diskriminaciją, skaudžias ir dideles problemas šeimoje. Ar manau, kad viskas per porą dešimtmečių pasikeitė? Ir taip, ir ne. Bet itin smalsu patikrinti, kas čia įvyko per visus tuos metus. Paralympic gold medallist Claire Cashmore has written her first children’s picture book. The story tells the tale of Claire’s childhood and how she actually hated the water when she was little. It is also about how claire, who was born without a left forearm, never let her disability stand in her way and she made sure she could do everything and anything she wanted to by believing in herself.Splash is a great story that follows Claire from a young child as she learns not to be scared of the water and all the possibilities it holds. Schon die Römer und die alten Griechen taten es, aber sie waren offensichtlich nicht die ersten: auf dem Gilf-el-Kebir-Plateau in der Sahara gibt es die Höhle der Schwimmer, in der man 4000 Jahre alte Höhlenmalereien von schwimmenden Figuren bestaunen kann. Howard Means nimmt diese Zeichnungen als Auftakt zu seiner ganz persönlichen Geschichte über das Schwimmen. Howard Means' Splash! has raised the bar for the 'swimoir'! He takes masterful strokes through 10,000 years of the cultural and social history of swimming and makes the strongest case yet written on why everyone should swim.
