Floating: Waterlog Reswum, the paperback version of Floating: A Life Regained, follows Joe Minihane’s journey around the UK retracing the wild swimming odyssey undertaken by late naturalist Roger Deakin in his nature writing masterpiece, Waterlog. Joe’s journey is more than a simple retelling, his obsession with open water part of a bid to conquer the anxiety and depression which had come to dominate his day to day life. Floating is a story of friendship, self–examination and the joy found in sliding into cold bodies of water in an attempt to come up for air.
