...Eventually, Krayzelburg found his way to Mark Schubert, the masterly and demanding swim coach at the University of Southern California. It took Schubert less than a week to give Krayzelburg his verdict: "You can be the best in the world."

This one becomes a variation on the Fatal Attraction theme, but with more muscular action and, finally, a lot less plausibility. That's too bad, because the early wit of Clark Gregg's writing and some persuasive direction and playing are drowned out by the doomed, desperate search for a persuasive ending...
