"aquaphilia, n. sexual fetish involving water or swimming; American The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is my favorite — I love those underwater aquaphilia shots."

Observing the natural affinity for water of the Polynesians, Herman Melville wrote: "No wonder that the South Sea Islanders are an amphibious race when they are thus launched into water as soon as they see the light. I am convinced that it is as natural for a human being to swim as it is for a duck, and yet in civilized communities how many able bodied individuals die like so many drowning kittens from the occurrence of the most trivial accidents.""
