swimming against the current

Luke in control

Swimming in the sea is certainly more of a challenge than swimming in the pool.

I like to swim parallel to the shore to get an idea of the distance. Swimming down the coast you are swimming against the current. Plants on the sea bed look like trees blowing in the wind. Even the fish seem to be riding on the current, swimming in the opposite direction to me.

Like riding into a headwind, swimming against the current is rewarded by an easy ride home. On the road you chase cars. In the sea you chase fish.

Like Jean Reno in The Big Blue, I feel like the sea and me are one...
