(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?

Great job with the new poems Swimmy, Seagurl and newmastersswimmer! Here's one for Toni:
There once was a swimmer called Thorpe
Middle distance freestyle he rules
Everyone must beware
For he sets fire to all the pools
His rivals are called by the names
of Keller, Hoogie, and Hackett
But whenever they go head to head
Thorpe's the master; he wears the green jacket
But, Thorpie beware the new pup
whose versatility has proven unique
We saw it this summer in Athens
And he hasn't yet reached his peak!
