D is for Deakin, Roger | From the Slightly Foxed archives

In this week’s free article from the Slightly Foxed archives, Sarah Anderson takes the plunge into Roger Deakin’s Waterlog. We’ll leave you with this bracing journey through the waterways of Britain from SF Issue 6, and we hope you enjoy reading it.

Taking the Plunge

Sarah Anderson on Roger Deakin, Waterlog

The notion of a long swim through Britain began in the pouring rain while Roger Deakin was swimming in his moat in Suffolk. The idea became an obsession and, inspired by John Cheever’s short story ‘The Swimmer’, in which the hero Ned Merrill swims drunkenly home through a series of neighbours’ pools, he embarked on a random journey to swimming spots throughout the British Isles.
