I focused so much on poetry this year with the laudable and celebratory publication and launch of 'Feeling,' the poetry anthology celebrating iconic Ugandan women.
I choose to end my 2025 celebrations with swimming. I have been swimming as an experienced aquatic individual for close to 30 years. Some of those years were hghly consistent while others were not so much.
After spending copious amounts of time writing, editing and speaking poetry, I went back to my favourite sport, which is swimming.
The refreshing coolness of the water. The acoustic nature of the splashes. The welcoming aqua blue. The way my body glides like a good dream. Swimming matches m personality. It invigorates me. It provides pleasure of such magnificent measure.
It was almost 30 ears qago while an undergraduate that my friend Pamela Namutebi introduced me to the wider universise of swimming. I learned the breast stroke, backstroke and butterfly, thanks to her.
Thanks to her, swimming is the reason why my body is in great shape.
Bless!
Bev
