The Joy of Swimming

From bestselling author Lisa Congdon, this lovely new book invites readers to dip into the many joys of swimming. Congdon brings her personal passion as a lifelong swimmer to this beautiful and thoughtful celebration of getting in the water. Hand-lettered inspirational quotes, watercolour portraits paired with real people's personal stories, illustrated collec­tions of vintage objects, and more evoke the beauty and inspi­ration of the subject. An emphasis on swimming as a way of life-taking the leap, going with the flow-makes this delightful volume one that will speak to serious swimmers, holiday pad­dlers, and anyone pondering their next high dive.
