Right.
OR, we might just read a book on swimming and decide we never wanted to go swimming in the first place, and save ourselves a bunch of time and money for learn-to-swim arm floats with Wally the Walrus logo ($3.99 plus shipping on ebay) and/or "lessons" we would have otherwise taken and m

That's what I'd do if I wanted to be "a perfect swimmer", or "the best
swimmer".
To be "a good swimmer" I'd just learn it some, practice it some, enjoy

No. I sit on them when I do zazen.
What would you do if you wanted to learn to swim? Would you go down to the

My suggestion is throw away all your books, especially books about zen and
