The thing she had once loved about swimming was disappearing.

In the water, her focus had been so pure that she thought of nothing else.

Any school or home worries vanished.

The art of swimming - she supposed like any art - was about purity.

The more focused you were on the activity, the less focused you were on everything else.

You kind of stopped being you and became the thing you were doing. - P72

Bertrand Russell wrote that ‘To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three-parts dead.
Maybe that was her problem.
Maybe she was just scared of living. - P36
