(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?

Toni,
As I read the first two lines of my poem you quoted it now dawns on me that I actually had the following originally:
"As the water flows over me
I feel it's silky embrace"
oh well, I like the word "silky" better than "gentle" there but I guess it's too late now.
I once knew a swimmer named Thorpe
Swimming was his number one sport
Each time he hit the pool
There was only one rule
New Records were in the final report
Thanks for the inspiration swimmy by starting this new trend!
