Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 A true story that my husband told me, is about a man who should have drowned in the North Atlantic in 1984. He was woken up by the cook who told him the trawling gear had snagged on the sea bottom. He swam toward the shore, and within minutes, only two men remained: him and the captain. They called to each other as they swam, to spur each other on.
#2 We are land creatures with an aquatic past. We have figured out ways to re-acquire abilities that existed before the land-sea split in our evolution, hundreds of millions of years ago. We swim because it helps us get from one prehistoric lakeshore to another.
#3 I have always been drawn to the water, and I have always loved going swimming. I have always been able to forgive a murder attempt by the sea, because I find the magic of the water so irresistible.
#4 We are all born with the instinct to swim, and we all have a story to tell about our experiences in the pool. We are pool-hopping, chasing oases, and immersing ourselves in search of the bait that pulls us into the depths.
