Claire Cashmore, MBE, a Paralympic gold medalist, was born without a left forearm, but she never let her difference hinder her aspirations. The inspiration behind Splash is Claire's remarkable real-life journey. Despite her initial fear of water, everything changed when she encountered a magical moment.

However, there is one thing Claire refuses to do—enter the swimming pool. The water's presence makes her feel uneasy and uncomfortable. Her sisters eagerly follow, but Claire declines, opting for a different activity on that particular day.
Can Claire conquer her fears and step into the water? What will happen if she does? Follow her journey as she embarks on a quest to overcome her limitations and embrace the joy of swimming.
