Floating: A Return to Roger Deakin's Waterlog
'Lovely, lively, passionate... a celebration of nature's ability to inspire healing and joy' Robert MacFarlane
In the breaststrokes of Roger Deakin's Waterlog , this is the story of one man's search for himself across the breadth of Britain's wild waters.
Joe Minihane became obsessed with wild swimming and the way it soothed his anxiety, developing a new-found passion by following the example of naturalist Deakin in his own swimming memoir. While fighting the currents - sometimes treading water Minihane swims to explore, to forget, to find the path back to himself through nature, and in the water under an open sky he finally begins to find his peace.
Floating is a remarkable memoir about a love of swimming and a deep appreciation for the British it captures Minihane's struggle to understand himself, and the healing properties of wild stretches of water. From Hampstead to Yorkshire, Dorset to Jura, the Isles of Scilly to Wales, Minihane uses Waterlog to trace his own path by diving right in.

For those that haven’t read Waterlog, then you should. In my opinion it has reached the point where it could be considered a classic tome now. Joe Minihane was one of those who has discovered the delights that the prose of Roger Deakin could offer. In the process of reading and re-reading this book, a germ of an idea grew. Twenty years after it was first published, Joe decided to recreate Deakin’s journey by swimming where he had before and to see how the wild swimming landscape had changed in the two decades.
A lot of the locations could be reached fairly easily, close to a tube station or at the end of a ride on a bicycle. To get to some of the others in the more remote parts of the UK would take a bit more effort though, especially as Joe can’t drive! It was time to find companions who want to join him in the cold waters of the UK and perhaps rekindle some old friendships that had faded in the busyness of modern life. However, this project was going to have a much more profound effect of Minihane’s life. He was to use the rituals of swimming to fight against the black dog depression and anxiety that he suffers from, slowly opening up to friends and seeking the professional help that he needs.
But this is more than that, not only does he describe the joys and shocks of immersing himself in the cold waters in this island, often with a sharp intake of breath, but like Deakin’s original, it is a frog’s eye view of the present state of our watery natural world. He lets his worries float away downstream and develops stronger bonds with old friends. Waterlog is a tremendous book, and this book by Minihane is a fitting tribute to Deakin and his legacy. A poignant reminder of the healing power of nature.

Very disappointing.
It sounded so promising. I've always been a huge admirer of Roger Deakin and I loved the idea of following his classic wild swimming book Waterlog a couple of decades later.
Minihane's life isn't turning out as he had hoped and he's beset with anxiety and worries. Despite a close network of family and friends his only relief is wild swimming where he manages to briefly forget his wider problems and live for the moment. Waterlog is his much read Bible, hence the idea to retrace Deakin's journeys.
However, it is soon very clear that Minihane is a Professional Complainer with huge chips on either shoulder, a type of person I normally try to swerve in my everyday life.
Take for example his trip to Marshall Street Baths in Soho, first built in 1850 and recently renovated at huge expense. Minihane is bitterly angry at being charged £5.65 for using the new facilities, and actually calls it 'social cleansing' in that it prices out the 'poorer residents'.
Not sure how he knows this, but there you go, yet another sweeping statement.
He frequently goes and has a few pints in a local pub. The average price for a pint of beer in a London pub is around £3.50 - but of course this is not remarked upon as any sort of 'social cleansing'.
As the book went on it got increasingly repetitive and I'm sorry to say just plain dull - eventually abandoned.

First, I’ll declare an interest as the author is a friend of a friend and someone I have met on a couple of occasions and really enjoyed spending time with. He’s a definite good egg – witty, interesting and thoughtful and, as evidenced by this book, a good writer too. The premise is interesting in that he travels around the UK on a wild swimming tour as a partial way of attempting to get over problems with anxiety. The parts of the book that see Minihane open up about his mental health are very well described while the ins and outs of the various bodies of water he visits are an interesting backcloth. Not all the swimming is wild – he likes a classic art deco pool restoration, even if the way such palaces have been preserved for the wealthy does leave them open to his rightful criticism. Some of the adventures border on potholing – and he is quite risk averse while being sensible enough to point out the dangers so doesn’t always follow through with the more challenging aspects of the mission he sets himself. I probably enjoyed the sea swimming bits best – I am not a strong swimmer and yet do recognise the hankering to get out in the wild.
If I were to offer two minor points of criticism, it would be the following – 1) the book could have done with a map but is quite small format so presumably the publishers dissuaded him and b) some extra social and cultural background might have been good – especially with regard to the Highgate ponds – he doesn’t even mention the men’s pond as an iconic location for gay men (see Alan Hollinghurst’s The Line of Beauty and the complicated social mores that surround these north London meres). Overall though, a book to lose oneself in when deep thought may be back on the agenda.

I received this book for free through Goodreads Giveaways. As always, an honest review.
Truthfully a book about wild swimming isn't something that I am typically inclined to pick up. What intrigued me was the beautiful poetic story of his journey through life, as described in this memoir. I enjoyed the seamless combination of his work in journalism, life struggles, mental health issues, appreciating his friendships, and discovering his love for wild swimming. The author's book has a little bit of everything, a great metaphor for life. Before reading Floating: A Life Regained, wild swimming was a concept I was aware of in the vague sense, but didn't know much about. Joe's journey opened my eyes to the variety of wonderful experiences wild swimming has to offer a person. The poetic descriptions transport me to the locations where he swam. I almost feel as if I'm there, which is the mark of a good book. I read most of it sitting outside, feeling the summer breeze against my face. It definitely enhances the intensity and beauty of the memoir. I highly recommend reading it outside if possible. Also, I felt it started to get a little repetitive at times. Maybe repetitive isn't the exact right word. But there were a few long stretches about his swims that weren't broken up by reflections about his life. Overall, a peaceful intriguing memoir about his journey into wild swimming and life along the way. I learned a lot and felt as if I was taken right to these beautiful places in nature. Also, I think a lot of people can relate to his struggles with work, finding your life's purpose, anxiety, and depression. Definitely worth the read and even better in the summer.

Roger Deakin wrote a now-classic book about wild swimming called Waterlog, where he visited dipping spots around the country and wrote about his experiences. I read it when I first started outdoor swimming and it really struck a chord with me; the writing is so infectiously passionate that it's hard not to get swept away by his enthusiasm and his gently rebellious attitude towards diving into rivers, canals, lakes and the sea.
In Floating, Minihane follows Deakin's journey years later, recreates the swims and tells his own story at the same time. It's an interesting idea, and I really enjoyed the book. The author is open about his anxiety and talks about how swimming is a release at first but quickly becomes another way that he puts unnecessary pressure on himself.
Where Deakin is perhaps a bit occupied with portraying the ideal of the English countryside, the green and pleasant land, Minihan is a shade more cynical. He notices the litter, the municipal pools being closed or privitised and how access to many public waterways and lakes is restricted. He shivers and he dreads getting in. Deakin's optimism and Minihane's realism make two fascinating takes on the same subject matter. I do prefer Waterlog, but Floating is a worthy sequel to the book that's said to have sparked a wild swimming renaissance.

If you are a swimmer or used to be a swimmer and have been thinking about getting involved with it again, this could be the book for you. It is full of interesting wild swims around the UK. The author’s swimming project could inspire your own swimming project. If you enjoy swimming and are also dealing with anxiety, this book could be a life-changing read.
I am not a swimmer. My idea of swimming is jumping into the pool to cool off when holidaying somewhere hot. That’s it. I am not the ideal target audience for this book.
This book was sent to me because I enjoyed “The Salt Path”. I can see the link between sleeping rough and wild swimming. I can see the ‘personal growth’ links. I have not been inspired to jump in the nearest lake and swim - certainly not in the UK. This has nothing to do with how good the book is, but rather only extreme circumstances would make me want to do this.
I gave up on this book at page 162 (59%), hence the 2 stars. If it ends magnificently, I will never know. As swimming is not for me, I was left with some interesting facts about lidos and certain outdoor swimming spots, but felt somewhat bombarded by the string of swims with a variety of friends that I struggled to keep track of.
I have rated this book for my own personal preference, but hopefully anyone reading this will check whether they fit into this book’s target market.

This book was inspired by Roger Deakin's book Waterlog. This author goes on a quest to visit all the outdoor swimming areas that Deaking wrote about. I enjoyed learning about all the outdoor pools, rivers, and ponds that all have their own unique personality. The author embarks upon his quest as a cure to his crippling anxiety. As he found though, swimming alone can't cure something like that. If your anxiety is so high that it is affecting your everyday life, then you need to get some professional help, like the author eventually did.
I received this book as a Goodreads Giveaway. Yay!

I love, love, loved Waterlog by Roger Deakin. And it's a hard act to follow. I think that his writing allowed us to step out of ourselves and pay attention: to the sea, the rivers, the trees. To pay attention, not to ourselves, but to the song of the earth and the water.
Joe Minihane was singing the song of himself, and although the book was an interesting concept, I wasn't very interested in the 'emotional' aspect of the novel. But the idea of re-visiting the swimming holes is an interesting one.

A grand tour of the UK's outdoor bathing spots, which you'd think make for plenty of chances to utilize descriptive writing for making a beautiful and scenic piece of prose.
Pity the writing is so pedestrian and self-absorbed save for one section in the middle, which, unfortunately, takes place neither outdoors nor in the water, but within the office of the author's therapist

Not a patch on 'Waterlog'! It lacks its lyrical quality and I didn't find the author's personality engaging.

I started off enjoying this book but the endless detailed descriptions of swims, and friends of friends he meets up with in Norfolk, became repetitive, I'm afraid I gave up half way through.

“So I swam to fix myself, to cure myself and to make myself a better person in my own eyes. In the water there was nothing. My mind was empty and I floated without thinking.”
In Floating, A return to Waterlog stapt Joe Minihane in de voetstappen van Roger Deakin. In Waterlog beschrijft Deakin zijn tocht doorheen het Verenigd Koninkrijk op zoek naar zwembare plekken. Maar Floating is niet zomaar een moderne kopie van Waterlog. Joe Minihane probeert door te zwemmen zijn angstgevoelens in te perken. Deze thematiek zit verweven doorheen het verhaal, waardoor Floating enerzijds inzicht geeft in Minihanes mentale problemen en anderzijds een overzicht geeft van de veranderingen die het Verenigd Koninkrijk de laatste twintig jaar heeft ondergaan op vlak van natuur en zwemcultuur.
Het leven van Joe Minihane verloopt niet zoals hij gedacht had. Als freelance journalist neemt hij opdrachten aan omdat ze geld opleveren, niet omdat de onderwerpen hem interesseren. Omdat zijn identiteit helemaal op zijn professionele ambities opgebouwd is, heeft hij het gevoel dat hij faalt in het leven. De zorgen malen door zijn hoofd en worden steeds groter, tot wanhoop en apathie hem helemaal in hun greep hebben en hij amper nog het huis uitkomt.
“Working alone was proving to be dangerous. It drove me to retreat into myself and becoming lost in a dark world where I felt useless, incapable and, worst of all, embarrassed to tell anyone how I felt. Seeking professional help felt, at that time, pointless to me. To my mind, this was all in my head. I was the only person who had ever felt like this and I was making it all up.”
Wanneer hij gaat zwemmen, merkt hij dat hij zijn angstaanvallen tijdelijk onder controle heeft. Na het lezen van Waterlog besluit hij op zoek te gaan naar de plekken waar Roger Deakin twintig jaar eerder zwom. Hij vergaloppeert zich echter opnieuw in de ambitie om zijn project zo snel en efficiënt mogelijk af te ronden: “I had started it as an escape from work, and on days like this, with the weather bad and the water distant and hard to reach, it felt like it was nothing but a chore to be undertaken, a series of boxes to be ticked.”.
De realiteit dwingt hem om zijn tempo aan te passen en rekening te houden met de weersomstandigheden en de bereikbaarheid van de zwemplekken. Hij deelt zijn plannen en ervaringen op sociale media en verschillende van zijn vroegere vrienden bieden zich spontaan aan om hem te vergezellen. De hernieuwde verbondenheid blijkt even belangrijk voor zijn mentale welbevinden als het zwemmen op zich.
Joe Minihane geeft op een realistische, persoonlijke manier weer welke invloed het zwemmen op lichaam en geest heeft. Maar het is niet allemaal rozengeur en maneschijn. De twijfel overmant hem meer dan eens, en de angst neemt het op die momenten over. Het is inspirerend dat hij zelfs op momenten vol vertwijfeling zijn zwembroek aantrekt om zich onder te dompelen op een plek die hij niet kent.
Hij geeft ook duidelijk aan dat water niet in staat is om alle problemen zomaar weg te nemen. Hoewel het zwemmen zijn stress verlicht, is het omwille van de complexiteit van zijn klachten ook nodig om professionele hulp in te schakelen. Hierdoor leert hij aanvaarden dat hij niet alles kan controleren, dat het ok is om af en toe gewoon rond te dobberen zonder te weten waar hij uitkomt.
Floating is een realistische ode aan het zwemmen én aan de vriendschap. Hoewel het naar het einde toe wat repetitief werd, heb ik erg genoten van het boek. Ik vond het wel jammer dat er geen landkaart opgenomen is. Daarom heb ik er af en toe Google bijgehaald om te kijken waar hij zich precies bevond en hoe de omgeving eruitzag. En als ik daarvan nog geen zin zou gekregen hebben om te zwemmen, kreeg ik dat zeker na het lezen van de vele inspirerende passages: “Work, deadlines, that need to feel responsible for everything: all of these thinks were falling by the wayside now I knew there were countless stretches of cold water to throw myself into.”
In de trailer voor het boek legt Joe Minihane op een erg mooie manier uit wat zwemmen voor hem betekent. Ik vond dit de ideale inleiding om aan het boek te beginnen: https://vimeo.com/286134403?fbclid=Iw...

The author writes nicely, but it is by nature, very repetitive. And the author comes across as rather highly strung, which I didn’t always enjoy reading!
Longer than it needed to be.

Utterly gorgeous memoir about swimming and anxiety and friendship and politics; it's inspired me to take up more outdoor swimming as well, which is exciting. Joe Minihane has written so much in what is ostensibly a homage to Roger Deakin's Waterlog.
