“Most of us live in a world where more and more places and
things are signposted, labelled, and offi cially ‘interpreted’.
There is something about all this that is turning the reality of
things into virtual reality. It is the reason why walking, cycling
and swimming will always be subversive activities. They allow
us to regain a sense of what is old and wild in these islands,
by getting off the beaten track and breaking free of the offi cial
version of things. A swimming journey would give me access
to that part of our world which, like darkness, mist, woods
and high mountains, still retains most mystery. It would afford
me a different perspective on the rest of landlocked humanity”
- Roger Deakin, Waterlog
It allows the every day to be put aside,It’s just the water and you.
breathing becomes hard,
Cold water swimming requires another level of focus;
the body and mind need to be in tune.
Fingers become numb,
breathing becomes hard,
and movements become uncoordinated.
Pushing your limits, coordinating your body and mind with nature. .
There is reward in this survival.
