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?

    My sentiments exactly! Very clever poem by the way!....especially the way you ended it on a non-rhyming word for extra emphasis! I am guessing that some people may either be "all rhymed out" or just needing a little break from the poetry EXPLOSION that has went off here over the past so many days. This currently is the longest thread on the entire discussion board I believe??....(Can you believe what you started iSWIMinDREAMS?!). I am still expecting that Sonic Swimmer is going to regail us with some of those swimming parodies he teased us about earlier? (right Sonic Swimmer??) newmastersswimmer
