Remembering Charles Sprawson
We were saddened to hear of the passing of Charles Sprawson last week. His cult swimming
classic, Haunts of the Black Masseur: The Swimmer as a Hero, remains to this day one of the best and most influential books about swimming ever written.
Ella Foote reflects on the influence of Charles' book and of the time when they both met.
