Meditations on swimming – writer takes the plunge

Source: Massey University Associate Professor Ingrid Horrocks is launching her new book of non-fiction, ‘Where We Swim.’ (photo/Ebony Lamb) Titled  Where We Swim (Victoria University Press), the non-fiction text will be launched at Unity Books in Wellington on 11 March at 6pm (COVID-19 alert levels permitting).  From beloved bays, beaches and rivers at home to the waters of Perth and the Peruvian Amazon, Dr Horrocks shares her reflections on a lifetime of swimming as a personal, embodied pleasure and a metaphor for interconnectedness with nature and each other.  Part memoir, part travel and nature writing, the Wellington-based author says her book offers new angles on how we relate to the natural world. “I’d wanted to remember why it was we swam in the first place – to remember the pleasure of immersing in an element other than air,” she says.
