Why We Swim

byBonnie Tsui

Bonnie Tsui uses Why We Swim to investigate why We Swim through a carefully framed historical account. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of history and sports & recreation. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Why We Swim leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved. It is written for readers seeking substance as well as a clear path through the material.
