(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?

OK gang....here are the first two verses to my "new" poem, sung to the tune of Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" - (OK everybody, I need some help with the rest of this thing....)
I like big fins and I cannot lie
You other swimmers can’t deny
That when the coach walks in with those itty bitty fins
And great big giant kick set you get bummed
Wanna pretend you’re tough but ya know ya’ll ain’t got enough
It’s those big fins ya wanna be wearin’
You’re tired and ya can’t stop swearin’
“Hey Ya coach! I’m in the wrong lane!”
These guys are a pain
My toes they keep on touchin’
It’s noon and I should be lunchin’!......:D
(is it Friday yet...?)
