Summary and Analysis: The Swimmer

This article is an analysis of the short story The Swimmer, which was part of a short story collection assigned for a college-level English course. It aims to serve as a strong example of how a summary analysis should be structured, particularly in relation to short fiction. In the analysis, I reflect on the story’s symbols, motifs, and themes, and how they connect to broader aspects of life. I currently hold an Associate’s degree in Business Management Technology and am in the process of completing my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.
