A Year in Water

Organised around the calendar year, this is a beautiful and inspirational companion. Through poetry, handy recipes, tips and richly informative, and often funny prose, A Year in Water celebrates the challenges and joys of outdoor swimming.

Stunningly illustrated throughout, A Year in Water combines quietly humorous and observant prose, inspirational advice, lucid poetry, and waterside recipes.

Beth McDonough takes the reader through all the seasons of the year, and into the UK's wild, and more tamed, waters, inspiring the reader with practical hints, tips, and advice along the way. With evocative and visceral poems, the reader is placed knee-deep in rivers, lochs and seas - without having to get their feet wet!
