Swimming

The brain works hard enough keeping the body alive the will to not give up plays havoc on the mind conscious thought and effort helps make the water break total concentration propels limbs till they ache succumb to second nature to keep the head afloat levels of inhalation increase with every stroke the pull to make you blunder when bubbles made you cough a wave to take you under or crash against the rocks the hand that reaches out to grab a hold of life is forgotten with all doubt as breath gives up the fight.
