Learning How To Swim was inspired by Tryggvadottir's exploration on the theme of superstition. "The theme of superstition is very exciting because it goes to the core of a lot of issues we deal with today-especially when it comes to the nature of power. As much as we can control certain things in our lives there is an overwhelming randomness to our daily existence. Most people feel powerless to some extent and sometimes it is easier to hand off power, which we don't have anyway, to someone or something else. For some people that means religion, for others a pair of lucky socks."
