Swimming

Is there anything quite so exhilarating as swimming in wild water? This is a joyful swimming tour of Britain, a frog¿s-eye view of the country¿s best bathing holes ¿ the rivers, rock pools, lakes, ponds, lochs and sea that define a watery island. Charming, funny, inspiring, an assertion of the native swimmer''s right to roam, a celebration of the magic of water ¿ this book will indeed make you want to strip off and leap in.

Selected from the book Waterlog by Roger Deakin
