Marièle s medals were given to her because she almost died for her beliefs, almost died to help others. To help future generations, to help me, a complete stranger. So that I could have a future, so that I could swim fast.
And where are her medals?
Not out on display.
If that had been me, if I’d been in her place, would I have survived?

Swim Until You Can t See Land charts the relationship between two women born sixty years apart, whose chance encounter marks a turning point for the younger of the two. In her early twenties, Hannah Wright is forced to give up a promising career as a professional swimmer, and is having difficulty adjusting to her narrowed horizons. She is in danger of becoming embittered, haunted by a lost future.
Marièle Downie may now be old and frail, but her exploits as an agent in occupied France during ww2 reveal her as a woman of extraordinary spirit. She survives, unbroken by capture and interrogation. Hannah s delight in the medium of water and the rhythms of swimming are set in dramatic counterpoint to Marièle s experience of torture by water, an ordeal that puts her in touch with her core strength something Hannah starts to discover in herself.
