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?

    Now I'm on a role...(way too much coffee....): There once was a swimmer named Beard Who posed for some "guys" magazine...(some people think that's weird) I think it's great - I say, "you go girl, before it's way too late!" But in the pool, she's a chick to be feared!
