(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 fire inside
The drive within
The feel of cold water
Against your bare skin.
Determined to make it
Strive for the top
You know you can do it
Just don't ever stop.
Keep reaching up high
To the stars you can go
But just how high
Only you can know.
The controller of fate
The keeper of destiny
You make your own gate
And you hold the key.
