Description
At forty-four, Penelope Niven was at a turning point in her life. She had decided to learn how to swim, seeking a change for both body and spirit. As she discovered the restorative effect of the water, she also began to notice parallels between the lessons she learned in the pool and those of life. The process of learning to swim drew unexpected similarities with life's challenges. Just as you must consider your approach before entering the water, so too do you need to think carefully about new experiences. As Penelope progressed from floating to treading water, forward strokes to the backstroke, she began to see these lessons in a new light. This book combines the familiar wisdom of swimming with personal anecdotes and insightful observations, offering a sense of inspiration for those facing life changes or seeking motivation.
