How do you invent an Olympic sport? For Katharine Whitney Curtis, it took the right idea, great talent, some good timing, and determination. The originator of synchronized swimming as we know it today, she even wrote the first book on the subject in 1936. This biography features Curtis's own words, contextualized by friends and family.
