Fear not, tales of The Urban Swimmer's demise have been greatly exaggerated. He has been swimming, but hasn't got around to writing it up yet.
He posts this simply because while flicking around the telly the other night he was lucky enough to catch a reshowing of Wild Swimming, the BBC documentary about Roger Deakin's seminal book Waterlog. TUS's UK readers can watch it free on the BBC iplayer here. To be honest it's more of reflection on the popularity of what has become termed Wild Swimming but it's interesting enough. Move fast because it's only available for another day or so.
Even better, read the book, for although The Urban Swimmer takes his name from the John Cheever short story, the spiritual origins of this blog must come from Waterlog.
