About this book

Bonnie Tsui explores why people enter the water for survival, exercise, companionship and pleasure. Combining reporting with personal experience, she considers swimmers in widely different circumstances, from competitive athletes to a club in Baghdad and an extraordinary survivor in Iceland. The inquiry brings physical effort together with the cultural meanings and personal attachments that swimming can acquire.
