The water moved around her limbs in swirls, creating a buoyancy and sense of freedom. For Anastasia, to swim was to feel joy and the two would forever be joined in her heart and soul.
When I swim it is the swirls of cool water that teach me where I am in this world, that give me a proper sense of direction.

Give me tranquil waters enough and I will swim as long as this body has strength and this brain has the power to go on.
