(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?

I love reading your sweet poems, Swimmy! I can definitely relate to some of those wonderful poems.
Here's one I have written:
"I Am Swimmer"
I am Swimmer, see me swim...
I have gotten very slim...
...and I look good on a speedo too!
Long-Course, Short-Course... I've been training,
indoors and I'm not complaining.
I am Swimmer!
I am SWIMMER!
...See me swim!
I am Swimmer, eating carbs...
I use them for an energy charge!
...and I burn them when I go and race!
People say I've gotten thinner,
'Cause Masters made me a winner...
I am Swimmer!
I am SWIMMER!
...Burning carbs....
I am Swimmer!
Here I stand
...far and wide across this land...
...and I am training everywhere!
From DC to Midland
...I train in pools or in dry land
I am Swimmer!
I am Swimmer!
I am SWIMMER!
I am Swimmer!
I am SWIMMER!
I AM SWIMMER!!!
