Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lynne Cox, for your book, _Swimming in the Sink_. This cuts right to the heart of what it means to be human and vulnerable and strong and courageous. Your struggle to heal from aFib and deal with the grief of your parents' and your dog Cody's passing is so honestly, humanely described that it brings me to tears...and laughter too, as you retain your vitality of spirit and humor. Having gone through the loss of my parents, I know that pain, know the grieving process.As a runner and swimmer, I know how well that training has served me in difficult times--and yet at the same time how hard it is to let go and acknowledge vulnerability when we want to focus on our strength. You do that with such sensitivity and grace!

I like the way that Lynne Cox describes herself and her journey in her very introspective manner. Her cold water swim journey seem almost superhuman to me like she was just born to swim.  I've followed her career for a long time and have always been in such awe of her. I think it's great that she shares her frailties with  us.Her book was a great companion to another book I read by an open water swimmer,  Mile Humphrey who humorously explains the struggle to achieve his open water goal as well as his failures in achieving them.

    Another Side of Lynne Cox
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2021*

This book is definitely worth reading. I had no idea that someone as strong and fit as Lynne would ever encounter very serious heart problems. It’s a well-written account of the heart issues she faced and overcame.The premise is that her heart problems were a result of broken heart syndrome due to the deaths of her parents, and her dog. She finds a new love interest and the book ends.I don’t think there was a definitive conclusion by cardiologists that the cause was broken heart syndrome. I think the book needed to examine other factors. I think there are too many unanswered questions I this book.Did years of grueling swims in cold waters contribute to her condition? Did swimming in 26 F. waters in Greenland, swimming over a mile in Antarctica, swimming to Russia, and 12 hour cold water channel swims damage her heart? Was there electrical shock damage to her heart by freezing waters that would later cause defibrillation?Also, her height and weight are 5”6” and 190 lbs. Even though she needed the extra fat for insulation and flotation in freezing waters, is her high BMI a contributing factor?I’m surprised that these medical questions weren’t discussed because Lynne’s social and professional world is made up of mostly doctors.
