Please, consider the following issue.
There's a text about a young female swimmer who wants to become a sports star.
The title is: 'Mary swims to success!'
I'm not sure about the meaning of it.
Does it mean that she swims toward success?
Thank you

slocawber Does it mean that she swims toward success? No, it means that she succeeds by swimming (which is her talent). However, it is a word joke, since 'X swims to Y' also means that X succeeds easily in achieving/attaining Y.
