But in 1932, people of color -- like the Korean American Sammy -- were only allowed to use the pool one day a week. Sammy's father told Sammy he should forget about his passion for diving and pushed him to focus on studying to become a doctor instead. But Sammy Lee persisted and kept practicing diving, despite the prejudice he faced, and studied to become a doctor at the same time. After years and years of working hard, Dr. Sammy Lee dove into Olympic history in 1948, becoming the first Asian American to win an Olympic gold medal.

Sammy Lee's story of determination and triumph sets an extraordinary example for anyone striving to fulfill a dream. This chapter book edition includes black-and-white illustrations as well as sidebars on related subjects, a timeline, a glossary, and recommended reading.
