Swimming To Antarctica: Tales Of A Long-Distance Swimmer

Description for SWIMMING TO ANTARCTICA: TALES OF A LONG-DISTANCE SWIMMER by Lynne Cox:

In this extraordinary book, the world's most extraordinary swimmer writes about her emotional and spiritual need to swim, and about the almost mystical act of swimming itself. Lynne Cox has a photographic memory of her swims, and tells us how she conceived of, planned, and trained for each. She re-creates for us the experience of swimming (almost) unswimmable bodies of water - a lone swimmer among the waves, pitting her courage against the odds.
