AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Life is Worth Swimming is an intimate glimpse into the personal journey of Australian swimming icon Murray Rose—his life, his stories and his innermost thoughts. Throughout the book, enchanting images—some nostalgic, some recent and many from his private collection—document his life, highlight his words and bring the events described into sharp focus.

'Commenting on sport, focus, philosophy and family, this highly engaging and accessible book provides insight and inspiration not only for athletes, but also for anyone who has ever pondered life’s important questions.' (Publisher's blurb)
