Summer 1867: four-year-old Daisy Belle is about to make her debut
at the Lambeth Baths in London. Her father, swimming professor
Jeffery Belle, is introducing his Family of Frogs - and Daisy is
the star attraction. By the end of that day, she has only one
ambition in life: she will be the greatest female swimmer in the
world. She will race down the Thames, float in a whale tank, and
challenge a man to a 70-foot high dive. And then she will set sail
for America to swim across New York Harbour. But Victorian women
weren't supposed to swim, and Daisy Belle will have to fight every
stroke of the way if she wants her dreams to come true. Inspired by
the careers of Victorian champions Agnes Beckwith and Annie Luker,
Daisy Belle is a story of courage and survival and a tribute to the
swimmers of yesteryear.
