At the Interface
At the interface of air and water the terrestrial being has to overcome human instincts. Relearn how to breathe. And find their way in an unstable medium 800 times denser than air. Born from water, some go on to complete amazing feats. Others do not have the privilege or access to develop and hone the lifesaving skill of swimming. This podcast is an invitation to non swimmers and swimmers alike to better understand what happens in our bodies and our brains when we operate at the interface. As water based beings on a water based planet, where we can't breathe under it, but we can't survive with out, we can all benefit from a better understanding what happens physiologically, psychologically, emotionally, and physically when we swim.
