Pondlife : a swimmer's journal / Al Alvarez. by Alvarez, A. (Alfred), 1929- Bloomsbury, c2013. Call #: 797.21092 A473p Subjects Alvarez, A. (Alfred), 1929-   Alvarez, A. (Alfred), 1929- -- Health.   Aging -- Anecdotes.   Swimming -- Psychological aspects. ISBN:  9781408841006 (hc.) 1408841002 (hc.) Description:  xiv, 272 p. ; 20 cm. Summary:  The ponds of Hampstead Heath are small oases; fragments of wild nature nestled in the heart of north-west London. For the best part of his life Al Alvarez - poet, critic, novelist, rock climber and poker player - has swum there almost daily. Alvarez, now in his 80s, chronicles what it is to grow old with humour and honesty - from his relentlessly nagging ankle which makes daily life a struggle, to infuriating bureaucratic battles with the council to keep his disabled person's Blue Badge, the devastating effects of a stroke, and the salvation he finds in the three S's - swimming, sex and sleep.
