Swimming UPstream: My Journey from Adversity to Hope, Inspiration & a BIG LIFE with Winter the Dolphin

Written by David P Yates

Narrated by David P Yates, Cozi Zuehlsdorff, Austin Highsmith Garces and Nathan Gamble

This book was written for one specific purpose: to show you how to throw off the shackles of your past and find the BIG LIFE that lies waiting. Let the IRONMAN and Winter the Dolphin show you how to swim upstream and alter the trajectory of your life. No more small thinking. No more fear of taking the big step. No more comparing yourself to anyone else.

After a career of inspiring millions with these two worldwide phenomena, David Yates recounts his experiences in the newly released book, Swimming UPstream. You will learn the power of overcoming, putting the naysayers behind you, thinking big and setting yourself up for success on your life’s journey.

Born to a severely schizophrenic mother, David Yates suffered through a troubled childhood, on anti-psychotic medication with his life barreling toward disaster. With the help of key mentors in his life, David was able to climb his way out of darkness to lead a BIG LIFE, eventually reaching millions with life-changing hope, including Winter the Dolphin’s inspiring story. Through the narrative of David’s life story, you will see how you can turn your detours and valleys into real opportunities.

David’s journey of faith will encourage you, make you laugh and have you yearning to find your own BIG LIFE. You’ll cry tears of happiness as you read the real life stories of the many children and wounded soldiers, some suicidal, which David worked with during his years at IRONMAN and then Clearwater Marine Aquarium where the Dolphin Tale movies were created and filmed. Swimming UPstream will embolden you to overcome your past and swim against the currents to lead your own BIG LIFE. This is your time …
