The Monocle team dips its toe into the world of swimming, revealing
100 beautiful and inspiring places to take the plunge. Swimming is
excellent exercise of course, but it’s so much more than that: it
can be a transcendental experience, offering us space to reflect
and to escape. It’s an antidote to screens and all-encompassing
technology. Perhaps it’s the shedding of inhibitions that come
with a dip, or could it be that getting somewhere under our own
steam is an act that’s health-giving, refreshing and
life-affirming? Whatever it means to you, swimming – alone or
with others, badly or brilliantly – is about being in the moment.
This new book celebrates bathing in glorious full-colour
photography, revealing the editors’ chosen spots from inner-city
architectural wonders to lakes, beach clubs and bagni. So whether
you’re looking to do laps in Italy, tread water in Australia,
sink into the icy depths in Iceland – or perhaps just sit on the
side and let others do the hard work – this guide includes a
setting for everyone. Dive right in.
