Why We Swim by Bonnie Tsui
3.0
I've missed swimming since the Rec closed and we went into isolation. This book reminds me why I like to swim and be near water.
It's a good book but, not a great book. It reminds me of Born To Run without the race framing device to add interest and the tips that make it easier to start running.
That said, I am fascinated by Nihon Eihu, the samurai martial swimming technique. She talks about it for just a few pages but, I would read an entire book about samurai shooting arrows while treading water and swimming across rivers in several pounds of armor.
