About this listen

Terrifying moments rolling down a remote mountain dirt road backward in Mexico and witnessing a tragic loss of life when a shipmate was washed overboard from a submarine are the real-life stories of Jim Paulk that will keep you listening late into the night. Swimming for Our Lives will scare you as much as it scared them when they were tossed out of a boat in a fast-moving river with no life jackets on, sink or swim!

Jim and his wife, Pat, enjoyed a long adventuresome life together, and now you can enjoy it with them. Their “Love Story” will tug at your heart and put tears in your eyes, and for fishermen, the book will thrill you with memorable moments as they fought and released fish, big and small, from Georgia to Australia. However, the overriding theme of the book is simply a lifetime of happiness through relationships with family, friends, classmates, and shipmates.
