Description
Swimming Pool by Piotr Florczyk is an Object Lessons title that explores the significance of swimming pools in our society and culture. A former world-ranked swimmer, Florczyk reflects on his own experiences with swimming pools as he examines how they have been shaped by artists, architects, writers, and others. The book delves into the idea of the pool as a space where humans seek to unite their minds and bodies. Through this lens, Florczyk considers the role of swimming pools in our lives, from their use in sports and recreation to their presence in art and architecture. Published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic, Swimming Pool offers a unique perspective on the cultural and social aspects of swimming pools.
