Bonnie Tsui takes a deep dive into all aspects of swimming, from being a means to survival to a source of exercise and well-being. She shares her own passion, which is to swim in the open water of the San Francisco Bay. As a reader who loves to swim, I thoroughly enjoyed Why We Swim.Publisher's description:
Bonnie Tsui looks at our love affair with the water, from evolution to mythology, from survival and well-being, from community swim clubs to competitive races, and she goes around the world to explore its significance in many cultures.
