In "Swimming Sketches," Leanne Shapton's prose is elegant, meditative, and lightly beautiful, exploring a life that is always spent around water. Swimming runs through her life and her work. As a teenager, she trained to be an Olympic swimmer and represent Canada in high-level competitions. As an adult, recreational swimming in hotel pools or in the sea during vacations are part of her daily life. From the discipline of elite training to the introspection of an underwater artist, Shapton composes a book that is itself a work of art.
