Joseph Edwin Haeger illustrates the genesis and evolution of fraternity. Told in a series of frank recollections, Learn to Swim paints a vivid portrait of ten years in the lives of two friends. Haeger exposes the intimacy of everyday events we all experience ... seemingly unremarkable moments, made remarkable by the people with whom we choose to share them.

Life rarely follows the path we plot, but one fact remains immutable--when the tide comes in, we learn to swim.
