In a love letter to the swimming spots of Sydney, Chris Baker takes 52 swims in and around Sydney over the course of a calendar year.

Swimming Sydney is a tale of 52 swims in and around Sydney that take place over a calendar year. From Palm Beach to Cronulla, Mount Druitt to Bondi, Chris Baker swims at iconic beaches, municipal pools, harbour baths, tidal rock pools, bushland lakes and a backyard pool.

Taking his weekly plunges, Baker reflects on friendship, history and family, and how swimming can help us better understand ourselves.

Swimming Sydney is a valentine to the beautiful obsession of swimming in the world's most beautiful city. It's a book for everyone who loves swimming, who loves Sydney, and who understands that storytelling is the best way to navigate life's emotional currents.

A lifelong swimmer, educator and writer, Chris Baker was born and raised in Sydney. He has spent much of his professional life overseas, living and working in Vancouver, Prague, Hong Kong and Berlin. Chris was lured back to Sydney by its beautiful beaches, superb municipal pools, wild swimming holes and world-famous ocean baths. He is the author of Swimming Sydney: A tale of 52 Swims (NewSouth). Chris' work has been published by the Sydney Morning Herald, Weekend Australian, The Guardian Australia, Time Out, SBS Online and Vogue Australia.
