sometimes i go to the pool full of grief from the days toils,however after a good swim i forget all of this and feel invigorated,this happens every time.If i go to the pool and have had a good day at work then i feel even better after the workout.Perhaps if some of the world leaders swam more often there would be less conflict...
I was at a meet a few years ago at Schroeder in Brown Deer where Mary T. Meagher set her long-lasting 200 fly record. One of our older swimmers, a woman, had just completed an event and as she passed by me, I said, "Betty! How'd you do?"
She stopped in her tracks and didn't really answer the question, but said, "You know people ask me why I swim and I tell them, 'Where else can you swim in such a gorgeous facility and have a lane all to yourself!'" That said it all!
