A travel blog all about swimming and my adventures on the way to pools, lakes, and rivers —mostly around southern Ontario, with the occasional dive into destinations beyond.





A naiad is a water nymph from Greek mythology—a spirit of rivers, lakes, and streams. I hardly think of myself as spiritual, but this water shoe fits.
I love to swim! I am not a fast swimmer or an endurance swimmer and I don’t really care about being those things. I just feel so at home in the water.
I also love adventures! I love exploring my city, my province, and, occasionally, the great big country and world beyond.
I’m a middle-aged woman with an imperfect body that made me afraid to do what I love for way too many years, and I want to show how swimming can and should be accessible for everyone.
I live in Toronto with my favourite human and travel companion.
