“Swim until my chest bursts”

Some great stuff from NP:

“I’m watching a fair bit of swimming, which is bittersweet as it makes
me want to drop everything and everyone and swim and swim until my
chest bursts and my arms stop working. I can’t begin to describe the
pure joy in feeling your own strength and doing something you know you
were born to do. But it’s more than that.

“Once you reach a certain level of skill and fitness it’s incredibly
liberating to just go mental and tear into your chosen sport because
you can. The sensation of endless energy and incredible, unstoppable
momentum is more addictive that anything else I could possibly
imagine.”
