Much more complicated than a mere history of... This series is centered around the human relationship with swimming. What draws us to it. How do we use it, what do we gain from it… and what it can take from us. We’ll be exploring swimming through the prism of ‘Physical Capital' - discussing the physical attributes that can give you an advantage in the water and how they’ve been used to achieve greatness and how they can be affected and influenced by politics, geography and the unequal distribution of resources.
