Synopsis
At the Walpole Tidal Pool in Margate, England, a swimmer reflects on how water becomes a space for transformation and self-discovery.

Through swimming in the sea, the boundaries between body and environment soften, offering a way to understand queerness as expansive, fluid, and deeply connected to place
