Swimming in the water here at my home on Manido-Mnising (Manitoulin Island) on Lake Huron in Ontario, Canada, is sacred to me.
Every year, there is only one priority in my life that comes above all else in Summer: Swimming the rivers and water surrounding the Island.
I grew up in water, on it, and around it. Most of my life has been spent seeking to learn how to swim in harmony and balance with nature.
