As one of Australia's most celebrated athletes, Michael Klim's impact extends far beyond the pool.

Klim's journey to greatness began behind the Iron Curtain, in communist-era Poland. His family made a bid for freedom in the 1980s and immigrated to Australia, where swimming became his passport into a new culture and eventually led him to become one of his adopted country's great sporting heroes.

His crowning moment came at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, where he captured the hearts of millions with his gold medal performances and world record-breaking swims.

But being a champion athlete does not come without personal challenges. Beyond his achievements in the pool, Klim's life has been equally compelling. Through transitions in the business world, family life and major health trials, his natural buoyancy kept him afloat - until he faced a crisis that forced him to reassess his life and fight for his future.

From the heights of Olympic glory to the depths of personal adversity, KLIM is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance and the unsinkable human spirit.

'An inspiring and sometimes shocking insight into the man behind the medals.' IAN THORPE

'Michael Klim's finest moment isn't Olympic glory - it's the courage he summoned to share himself so honestly in this sports memoir for the ages.' RICH ROLL
