“Victory in the Pool” has received a tremendous response from media. It was the subject of a cover story in the Arden-Carmichael news by reporter Lance Armstrong and a large story titled “Pool Pioneer” in “Inside Sacramento,” July 28th, 2023 by Bob Graswich who wrote;
“Journalist Bill George returns coach Sherm Chavoor to a place of prominence with the book “Victory in the Pool: How a Maverick Coach Upended Society and Led a Group of Young Swimmers to Olympic Glory.” It’s a Sacramento story.
George draws perceptive descriptions of the town in the 1960s, sunny and optimistic, not dominated by state government, but rich with agriculture, military bases, aerospace, railroads, new suburbs and lots of children, some of whom love to swim.”
“Former KCRA journalist Bill George is currently promoting his new book “Victory in the Pool,” which covers one of the grand stories in Sacramento history.”
