      Nina ist 14 und trainiert im örtlichen Schwimmclub in Harper Bay in den Disziplinen 100 und 200 Meter Rücken. Das Wasser ist von klein auf ihr Element gewesen. Aber seit ein paar Tagen hat sie beim Schwimmen ein ganz außergewöhnliches Gefühl der Leichtigkeit, das ihr fast magisch scheint. Bald merken es alle: Nina schwimmt bei jedem Wettkampf Bestzeiten.
