The sea is a formidable and ever-changing entity. Sea pools, also known as tidal or ocean pools, are man-made pools that offer a safe haven for swimmers to enjoy the sea's benefits regardless of tide and weather conditions. These pools are sheltered from the dangers of currents, crashing waves, and extreme cold.
Sea Pools: A History of Outdoor Swimming, Architectural Significance, and the Resurgence of Sea Swimming in the 21st Century takes readers on a journey into the world of sea pools. Author Chris Romer-Lee showcases 70 of the most beautiful and culturally significant sea pools from around the globe, including the breathtaking Avalon Rock Pool in New South Wales, Australia, the awe-inspiring Pozo de las Calcosas in Spain, and Ireland's historic Vico Baths.
In addition to the stunning photographs, the book includes four insightful essays that explore the conservation, protection, and regeneration of coastlines. Nicola Larkin examines the next generation of ocean pools, discussing how we can preserve and restore our coastal environments. Therese Spruhan shares the healing and transformative benefits of ocean swimming, while Freya Bromley recounts her epic journey to swim in every sea pool in Britain. Kevin Fellingham highlights the importance of sea pools in South Africa.
The book is beautifully illustrated with stunning color photography and fascinating archive material that provides insight into the origins and history of these vital sanctuaries. Whether you are a swimmer, a coastal enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the sea, Sea Pools is a must-read for anyone who wants to explore the architectural, historical, and social significance of sea pools.
