Swim: Why We Love the Water

In this illustrated love letter to the sport and pastime of swimming, renowned broadcast journalist Lynn Sherr goes on a deep dive into the culture, history, challenges, and pleasures of moving ourselves through the water under our own locomotion. This deliciously illustrated paperback book looks into the social and evolutionary history of swimming, our relationship with the water, what we wear, how and where we choose to swim, and of course the competitive arts of swimming for sport. She also offers practical advice on staying afloat in the water and even songs you can sing while splashing around.
