STANLEY ULIJASZEK AND SWIMMING IN VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA

Stanley Ulijaszek offers some reflections about swimming in Victoria in Australia on the coast at Queenscliffe. On a beautiful beach, long and stretching towards a point to the left and another to the right, at Point Lonsdale. A swim with a Hopper-esque sailboat sailing in gentle but business-like fashion, in front of the lighthouse that signals the point where Australia lost a Prime Minister to the water and to the waves. Rust Cloud, Richard Serra, rusted iron slabs of sails sculpted by the wind. Stronger out there than here in gentle crawl parallel to the sandy shore. What three words tell the world where I am? Iterative.underwrite.swimming. A day of sun and swimming to rain and a broken car key. From delight to distress and back again.
