The Shelly Bay Ladies Swimming Circle by Sophie Green

 44776000. sy475

I felt like I'd read this book before, then realised a couple of years ago I read The Swim Club by Anne de Lisle. It too was about a group of women swim and talk their way through relationships with each other and the men in their lives. And inevitably find their physical and psychological strength. This is similar. Light and frothy as a meringue. I wondered why it was set in 1982-84: perhaps because the social mores of the time were more “stereotypical” than they are now?

Still, it's always good to find a book with a swimming backdrop.
