(I somehow lost my post in the middle of reviewing it--sorry if this ends up posted twice! Now let's see if I can remember what I wrote.)
I was talking with a friend about swimming and she said she started "swimming for life" x number of years ago. I got the sense that she meant that it was more than a good workout--it kept her "alive." I have to admit that it has that kind of effect for me, too. At the risk of sounding too new-agey, it's nourishing in more than a physical sense.
What does swimming mean to you? How does that compare to other sports or activities you do? How does that meaning influence your goals and performance?
Swim Rage....A Horror Story
Oh No! There is a crowd!
Don't these people have another place else to go?
Screeching, Yelling, Howling,
Those kids are way too loud!
Oh No! I have to share MY lane!
They better not be slow!
Creeping, Crawling, Fuming,
LET ME PASS AND GET OUT OF MY WAY!
Oh No! Guess what happened now!
My goggle strap just broke!
Snapping, Dropping, Sinking,
I think I am going to have a cow!
Oh No! It couldn't get much worse!
The wall is awfully hard! Ow! Ow! Ow!
Scraping, Scratching, Bruising,
Maybe it's not too late to try another sport!
