Swimming for Beginners will show you how a child can open your heart even if you aren't a mother.
Loretta has her life under control. She's chasing a big promotion, she's marrying the "perfect man" and she has a flawless five-year plan.
This plan does not include children.
But when a complete stranger asks her to watch her six-year-old daughter in an airport and never returns, both their lives will be changed forever.

Overflowing with humour and heartbreak, Nicola Gill takes us on a relatable journey of self-discovery through the power of a child's love.
