Coming Up for Air by Miranda Kenneally

I received this an eARC through Netgalley.
Maggie has been a competitive swimmer for as long as she can remember and she loves it. However, she wishes she had more experience with guys. Her best friends are experiencing the same trouble of balancing their own personal pursuits and commitment to their sport. After attending a college experience program, Maggie decides she needs to step up her game in the romance department and get the experiences in high school that she can use in college. Maggie has decided that her best practice partner would be her best friend Levi because she is so comfortable with him. They both made a point that they would not develop feelings for each other, but it just may be beyond their control.
This book was steamy, but fun. It felt real and it worked to reject gender stereotypes. It presents athletic/driven teens in a positive and realistic way.
