Inspirativní příběh plavce, který se z vesnického rybníku vypracuje do prostředí vrcholových soutěží. Po mokrém vysvědčení se mu neúprosně plazí želva, ale jeho strýc v něm brzy rozpozná delfína! Začnou s pravidelným tréninkem a semínko naděje ve skvostnou budoucnost pozvolna klíčí. Odhodlání a špetka troufalosti ho přivedou za trenérem národního týmu, kde drze prohlásí: „Zaplavu čtvrt míle pod čtyři minuty!“ Když poprvé předvede svůj svérázný styl plavby se zadnicí vystrčenou nad hladinu, nikdo nevěří, že o něm ještě kdy uslyší… Próza nového českého autora vzdává hold sportu jako takovému a odvaze jít si za svým snem nehledě na věk a navzdory všem překážkám.
