Why are we swimming. Tsuy B.

This exciting book about the beneficial effects of water on the human body and mind is based on the stories of real people. Among them are the Olympic champions, and the modern followers of the Samurai swimming style Nikhon Eiho, and the Icelandic fisherman, who miraculously survived after he spent more than six hours in ice water. The permanent author of The New York Times Bonnie Tsui has been swimming since childhood, and her personal experience - from swims in the cold waters of the San Francisco bay to overcoming the swimming of Lake George on the day of his own engagement - became the topic of no less exciting pages. To find the answer to the question why the water, despite all its dangers, attracts us, people, and we strive to be in it again and again, Bonnie Tsui goes with readers to ponds and lakes, pools and ocean spaces. It reminds us that a person evolved from creatures, millions of years ago inhabiting the water expanse of the Earth, and, probably, therefore, he is inevitably pulling into this element.
