Cold, foamy water hushed over the rocks, and the gills of the fishes that swam in it caressed the rocks. |
We spent our Waitangi Day yesterday sitting in the garden, and talking, and in the evening we had dinner on the beach and swam in the sea. |
They played and swam with the reckless abandon and joyfulness of three year olds. |
I swam like mad towards the surface, harder than I've ever swum in my life, breathing the last of my air. |
Eerie blue-lit stemware suspended above the adjoining, glassed-in bar, as if some enormous jellyfish had just swum into view. |
Billed as light, gentle exercise, it left me feeling like I'd swum the Channel wearing flared jeans and a Puffa jacket. |
