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?

    For hour upon hour With some right smelly folks. mmm? I wonder which post that line is referring too? (Could it be the "unshowered fragrant lane mates" post perhaps??....As usual I'm probably way off with that guess??). Looks like Seagurl (and fishgrrl) are both turning into real master poets here!......Just can't hold back those creative juices I guess eh? newmastersswimmer p.s. I promise I won't also refer to either of y'all as a guy sometime later down the road! Maybe the nicknames "Seagurl" and "Fishgrrl" "might" keep me focused enough to avoid that mistake?? (I'm old and loosin it mentally but somehow I am managing to just barely hang on!)
