Life in the fast lane is too challenging; lack of guts to move onto the medium lane as one does not even know how to front crawl properly. Beth Lau (b. 1989) is an artist who finds inspiration in her morning rituals and swimming in breaststroke in the slow lane. She is ambtious, but not fast enough.

Ambitious slow lane swimmer blog is a writing exercise aspires to bubble away the underwater memories and gesture surrounded by this very melancholic blue.

In the winter of her early twenties, while working as a night-shift warehouse worker, she discovered the waters of London Fields Lido after each shift (so she could sleep). She now meditates through the currents of the morning and evening, finding solace in her solitude. Through the water, she reminds us of the humble beauty of staying afloat and crawling through the life aquatic.

Her selected Chinese writings (2005 - 2010) are also available at:
