If you are interested in swimming, especially open water, then this is the book for you. So much interesting information in between stories, history, sporting achievements - it has it all. Only 1/5 of the way in but I am loving it already.

Too long narrative in the first 2 chapters of the book. Concentrated on poets like Byron and Shelley. Too many references to classic Greek and Roman myths. It was a classics University course.

Just started reding this and seems like a great book. Hadn't noticed it before.

I loved this book. I am a swimmer too but nothing like Charles Sprawson or those he writes about. Heard about it on Radio 4.
