Water
captivates us. Ancient cultures and world religions have revered it for thousands of years, believing it can cleanse our souls and restore us. Writers, artists and composers through the ages have been moved by the force, beauty and majesty of particular rivers, oceans and lakes. Swimming in these waters can stir something deep within us. It can help us to tap into a shared humanity, moving us in ways we hadn’t expected. We don’t need to follow a specific faith to experience its spiritual benefits; swimming can give us faith in ourselves – we just have to open ourselves up to its power.
“Aswim in wild waters can move us in ways we hadn’t expected”
