The man-made phenomenon called ‘swimming pool’ is a meeting point for another shared common activity – an interaction with water outside our own bodies. I never learned to swim until recently.

In real life, I observed by standing at the shore or on the edge of a pool while others swam. Learning to swim was not just another check mark on the list of things I wanted to do. It is enabling me to participate in activities that give me a sense of belonging. To swim is to create your own paradise and a way to connect with one of nature’s unique elements, water. This is an invitation to submerge
