Much more complicated than a mere history of... This series is centered around the human relationship with swimming. What draws us to it. How do we use it, what do we gain from it… and what it can take from us. We’ll be exploring swimming through the prism of ‘Physical Capital' - discussing the physical attributes that can give you an advantage in the water and how they’ve been used to achieve greatness and how they can be affected and influenced by politics, geography and the unequal distribution of resources.

In the first episode of Physical Capital, we delve into these questions and more; exploring the parallels between Roman gladiators and modern day boxers, and examining the historical commodification of the athlete’s body for other people's financial, political, and social gain.

What’s even more fascinating, is that he was not the first person to do so… In Physical Capital Episode 2, we’re going to look at how boxing and slavery interconnect and tell you a story about a black boxer in Britain in the 19th century, and the legacy he left behind.
