Description
Swimming is excellent exercise of course, but its so much more than that: it can be a transcendental experience, offering us space to reflect and to escape. Its an antidote to screens and all-encompassing technology. Perhaps its the shedding of inhibitions that come with a dip, or could it be that getting somewhere under our own steam is an act thats health-giving, refreshing and life-affirming? Whatever it means to you, swimmingalone or with others, badly or brilliantlyis about being in the moment.
This new book celebrates bathing in glorious full-color photography, revealing the editors chosen swimming spots from inner-city architectural wonders to lakes, beach clubs and bagni. Whether youre looking to do laps in Italy, tread water in Australia, sink into the icy depths in Icelandor perhaps just sit on the side and let others do the hard workthis guide includes a setting for everyone. Dive right in.
