Mangas hopes book inspire swimmers

By Jeff Birchfield

Aly Mangas saw plenty of inspirational books related to sports. She just couldn’t find one about the sport she was passionate about.   

It led her to put together “Oxygen For The Swimmer.”   

“There wasn’t any book specifically to encourage swimmers,” said Mangas, a freshman on the Milligan College swim team. “All the stories are related to swimming,
  but I’ve had people who don’t swim come up to me and say, ‘I really like the book.’ It’s inspirational, specifically for swimmers, but it seems anybody can use it.”     

The book was published while Mangas was still a senior at Covenant Christian High School in Greenwood, Ind., and as one can guess from the title, it’s based on the popular Chicken
  Soup for the Soul books. She uses quotes and stories from coaches, her mom and others, including 1996 Olympic gold-medalist Sheila Taormina, as well as a variety of Bible verses.
