I’m finishing up a draft of the World History of Swimming book I’m working on, and it’s due in less than a week, so I haven’t got much time to write blog posts right now.

Plato, Privilege, and the Pool

Tomb of the Diver (ca. 500 BC)

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I’m enjoying writing the long version, which I hope will be out in book form a year from now!
