(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?

The warmth of love upon my heart…
Gliding along from the very start….
The feel of water gives me grace
And new endeavors I shall embrace….
But love turned cold upon my heart
For now I’m eaten by the shark
Yet, never to return to waters edge
As if I jumped from top the ledge…..
And as I plunge way below…..the water I miss
Will never glow…..
