When an injury sidelines college swimmer Anna Callaway, her dreams are crushed. She pours herself into her sports marketing practicum, helping a local special needs organization promote their athletic event. What she doesn’t expect is a swim team ripe for the Special Olympics—and their handsome but stubborn coach.
Craig Holt has dealt with eager and ignorant volunteers before. No matter how determined or persuasive uptight Anna might be about coaching his team to the Special Olympics, he has no intention of allowing her to raise the hopes of his swimmers, his sister, or his guarded heart.
Then Anna herself gets a second chance at becoming a champion. Will she pursue her lifelong goals or make room for a new dream?

Themes in Spring Splash
An injured college athlete meets her heart’s match in a special needs swim team and their coach.
After four years in her sister’s shadow as a university swim team walk-on, Anna Callaway finally had success in reach. She could measure it. Fifteen yards, and she would’ve been on that bus to Division 1 Championships.
But now she’s out of the pool with a bum shoulder and an impossible marketing practicum assignment, to help the local special needs organization with their spring athletic competition. That plus rehab and study leave Anna racing the clock in a new way, but she can’t seem to keep herself off the deck during Oconee Champions swim practices. And, no, the team’s triathlon-winning coach, Craig Holt, wouldn’t have anything to do with that.
Uptight Anna has a lot to learn about letting go of her perfectionism and relating to special needs athletes, but she isn’t the only one on a learning curve. As the primary caregiver to his younger sister with autism, Craig’s control issues just might surpass Anna’s. And he’s given up on anyone wanting him as a package deal.
Spring Splash is chock full of root-for-the-underdog, feel-good moments, heart-stopping romance, and nail-biting comebacks. But it’s also rich in takeaway value.

- Refuse to fear or judge what you don’t know.
- Each person’s path to victory and their moment of victory may look different—but are equally valuable.
- Don’t allow fear of rejection or failure to steal your dreams, even if you’ve been rejected or failed before.
