(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?

I like the dichotomy thing with the two poems....very clever!....When things can't get any worse ...i.e. when the goggles break and you choke on water from a big wave ect....that's when the kid in the play section beans me in the head with the ball....and then internally (maybe even externally?) shouts to himself .....SIX POINTS!!
