The book is not entirely about swimming, but the writing circles around it, surprisingly warm and delicate unlike most other sports memoirs.
评分leanne shapton's collection of swimming suits, pools, and waters are some of the most poignant images in my recent experience, while the writing could be further edited. the structure of such a project is not only curious but inspiring. the most encouraging thought of all is to treat everything we do as "laps" thus to defeat all difficulties.
