Synopses & Reviews
From Lisa Congdon, bestselling author of Whatever You Are, Be a Good One,
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, watercolor portraits paired with
real people's personal stories, illustrated collections of vintage
objects—colorful swim caps, bathing suits through the ages, traditional
pool signs—and much 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, vacation paddlers, and anyone pondering their next
high dive.
