Swim & Sun: A Monocle Guide: Hot Beach Clubs, Perfect Pools, Lake Havens

By Andrew Tuck, Joe Pickard, Tyler Brule

Book Overview

Swimming is excellent exercise of course, but it's so much more than that: it can be a transcendental experience, offering us space to reflect and to escape. 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-color photography, revealing the editors' chosen swimming spots from inner-city architectural wonders to lakes, beach clubs and bagni. 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.
