The meaning of swimming

(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?

  • Oh, the steamy spray, That is best part of my day, Bubbling, Gurgling, Boiling, The hot tub is where I like to stay! Oh, after a really hard swim, I hear those jets calling me in, Swirling, Whirling, Twirling, Jump right in and let the water spin! Oh, when your muscles really ache, The jacuzzi is where you need to bake, Roasting, Poaching, Toasting, Trust me! It's really great! Swimmy
