– Melchisédec Thevenot

The blue depths are as treacherous and pleasurable as any hazard of the Natural World. Constant paddling puts undue fatigue on the body and leads quickly to exhaustion. But not so for the Pilgrim who has learned Long Distance Swimming, as he has honed his muscles and mastered the movements and breathing necessary to last longer in deep water!
