Chapter 8 Summary: “Swim Sisters”

At school during the week before the state championship, Bree runs into the hall monitor, who admits that, like Bree, she didn’t know how to swim. She tells Bree that she started taking lessons because of her. She hopes that Bree will go back to the swim team.

Later, Bree finishes the puzzle she’s been working on since she moved to Florida. Her dad makes all her favorites for dinner. He tells Bree that he doesn’t know how to swim. He almost drowned when he was younger, and he’s afraid to be around pools, which is why he’s avoided going to her meets. He adds that he’s proud of her. He thinks she should rejoin the team, but if nothing else, she should stay in touch with the team. Just then, Bree has a realization: She grabs the photo Etta gave her and says that Etta clearly misses her friends. They need to go to the bank.

There, they find Yvette, and Bree explains to her that Etta needs her team. Then, they go to the dentist’s office, where they meet Jamie. Yvette wonders if Etta will really want to see their fourth teammate.
