A review by girlfriday4
Waterlog by Roger Deakin
4.0
A fascinating plunge not only into the pools, lakes, rivers and oceans of the UK but also into the histories and ecologies of these places. I had to keep googling the places he writes of as I've never been to the UK, but am now even more keen to get over there and swim.
I also loved how Deakin captures the emotional/psychological and physical benefits of swimming - the ecstasy of being in water. A powerful incentive to get off the couch and into the water.
