"Swimming lessond"
Listening during a melting heatwave I would have a dip with the swimmer each time.
Definitely nearing the end when realization or some form of it came upon him.
He gets home and it is not home anymore.has not been for a long time.
The main character the"swimmer" is an exceptional example of a man"s psychological devolution.
