The water slurps my shoulders, torso, and back in a big, wet kiss, bending my image into an ironic clone of the truth. I bow to its dominance and let it break me open. The water alone will have me. Watched obsessively by her guru-like coach,  a nameless swimmer battles the element of water in a gruelling physical regimen. Outside of training,  she floats loose in waters murky, salty, and chlorinated,  engaging in aimless self-destruction,  restraint looming just beyond her drifting hand. Incrementally,  swimming is killing her, the pool is killing her. Hovering always nearby is a prickly vulture, waiting to feed on the swimmer's remains ... Intense and immersive,  Kiss the Undertow is a psychologically gripping account of endurance pushed to extremes.
