Woow how I wish i could swim laps
I feel your passion in your words
I almost drown when I was about five
And still have nightmares
But my husband is a pool builder
And I take baby steps in the pool now
Excellent write
Peace Love and Light....Morning Star

I love swimming but don't go often. Water is soothing, clensing, refreshing and just my type of thing to still do in my older age. My daughter has a pool and plan to go to it some of these hot summer days, but like indoor heated pools better when on vacations.

It's interesting to see how any human activity can be described in a very personal way focusing on the sensations, impression and lasting emotions that it provokes.
I like the idea of water offering its freedom.

As a youthful swimmer and diver in my early days, I know from where you swim! Water is the essence of freedom for humans... although the space people seem to have a new place to float and swim about and around in. Your poem is excellent, and I enjoyed it much.
