Description
Humans weren’t born to swim. Our bodies have little in common with those of fish, whales, or otters—animals uniquely adapted to watery environments. But that’s never stopped us. Despite its inherent dangers, the water lures us again and again as a place where we might relax, compete, forage, or settle into a unique sense of flow.
From the personal stories of obsessed Olympic swimmers to the tale of an Icelandic fisherman who miraculously survives a shipwreck on the frigid open ocean, Bonnie Tsui enthusiastically dives into the fluid, multifaceted relationship we have with water.
