In a back treatment room of the bath's building is a projected image which may initially be hard to define as it appears to shimmer on the dull, rough surface of the wall. It depicts an illusory act - that of the "suspended" woman as staged by a magician. However, this image of an older body is not fragile or immaterial - the sounds of exertion and presence are clearly audible. These may be heard in another treatment room containing a tiny suspended monitor that displays footage from a recent experimental study into survival research conducted by the Institute of Naval Medicine. In a swim failure trial in cold water, a man is swimming on the spot, at 10 degrees centigrade. The study will end when the effects of cold on the body's physiology escalate and the swimmer becomes increasingly vertical in the water.
