As a swimmer, I liked this book quite a bit. I am just a pool swimmer, and will probably never swim great distances in open water. However, this book still inspired me to try harder and push myself farther when I do swim.

Additionally, it is just interesting to read about all of the crazy places and insane water temperatures that this woman swam in!

I liked this book for several reasons. Most of these reasons wouldn’t have convinced me to pick up the book if I heard them, though. “She writes very well about different kinds of water.” That doesn’t sound interesting, does it? Yet it was. She wrote about what she loves, and I think you’ll enjoy reading about it.
