Record-breaking swimmer Becca Mann shares how she turned her failed Olympic dreams into making history as the first—and only—person to ever swim the 21-hour Maui Nui Tri-Channel Crossing
I wasn’t afraid of the ocean. I wasn’t afraid of the unseen depths beneath the water, or what lurked below.
I was afraid of being trapped in my own mind.
Record-breaking swimmer Becca Mann was a young swimming prodigy. A two-time USA National champion, she was the youngest person ever to place in the Top 10 in four events at a single Olympic Trials and represented Team USA at four World Championships. But after years of sacrifice, relentless drive, and coming heartbreakingly close to Olympic glory—three times—Becca’s dreams came crashing down.
In Outside the Lanes, Becca shares her journey from the disappointment of Olympic defeat to making history as the first—and only—person to conquer the grueling, 21-hour, 40-mile Maui Nui Tri-Channel Crossing. She also opens up about the mental battles that shaped her: confronting the sacrifices she endured, OCD, and the relentless pressure to succeed.
More than just a story of a young athlete, Outside the Lanes is a powerful exploration of resilience, reinvention, and redefining what it means to win. This is an inspiring read for anyone who has ever dared to chase a dream by adventuring outside the lanes.
