It's an antidote to screens and all-encompassing technology. Perhaps it's the shedding of inhibitions that come with a dip, or could it be that getting somewhere under our own steam is an act that's health-giving, refreshing and life-affirming? Whatever it means to you, swimming - alone or with others, badly or brilliantly - is about being in the moment. This new book celebrates bathing in glorious full-colour photography, revealing the editors' chosen spots from inner-city architectural wonders to lakes, beach clubs and bagni. So whether you're looking to do laps in Italy, tread water in Australia, sink into the icy depths in Iceland - or perhaps just sit on the side and let others do the hard work - this guide includes a setting for everyone. Dive right in.","brand":"RANDOM HOUSE","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":43034430177369,"sku":"PR913822","price":117.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2551\/5502\/files\/image_TIBFTMYPPX06.jpg?v=1770003995","url":"https:\/\/smartfox.co.nz\/products\/swim-and-sun-a-monocle-guide","provider":"SmartfoxNZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
