Title: | Diving | Contributor(s): | James, Wendy (author) | Publication Date: | 1995 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/15824 | Abstract: | I do laps at the Olympic pool, swim in the centre lane, the one for medium swimmers. The fast swimmers -mostly men in their lunch hour - have the outside lane. They belt up the pool, tumble-turn and hurtle the length back, arm over arm over arm, churning the water, overtaking one another without pausing. In the lane to my right, the slow lane, elderly women in rubber caps, and pregnant women with ponytails, breast-stroke slowly, glide as graceful and gracious as swans on a river. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Australian Short Stories (56), p. 15-19 | Publisher: | Pascoe Publishing | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 0810-4468 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 200502 Australian Literature (excl Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Literature) | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 950203 Languages and Literature | HERDC Category Description: | C3 Non-Refereed Article in a Professional Journal |
