Humans, unlike other animals that are drawn to water, are not natural-born swimmers. We must be taught. Our evolutionary ancestors learned for survival; now in the 21st century, we swim in freezing Arctic waters and piranha-infested rivers to test our limits. Swimming is an introspective and silent sport in a chaotic and noisy age; it’s therapeutic for both the mind and body; and it's an adventurous way to get from point A to point B. It's also one route to that elusive, ecstatic state of flow.

Then, one at a time, I took them back onto the rocks – all done against the raging rip and wild surf. By then an hour or so had passed. Still, severe cuts, bruises and abrasions aside, I'd successfully saved the lives of the four young people who, in all probability, would've otherwise drowned.

Guardi in basso, davanti a te: il confine da attraversare è una piatta distesa azzurra apparentemente senza fondo, che attende solo di abbracciarti. Gonfi i polmoni, pieghi le gambe e ti prepari a trattenere il fiato, a lungo, per metri e metri e metri, sempre più giù, oltre i pesci colorati e le gorgonie, giù, fino a quando la luce si affievolirà e poi sparirà, fino a quando il freddo ti annebbierà la mente e rischierà di farti perdere la concentrazione.
