(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?

It's on my skin
It's in my hair
It's in my car
It's in the air
My bathroom smells
My bedroom too
It will probably rub off
If I shake hands with you
It lingers and hides
It stays out of sight
It won't come off if I scrub
Even with all my might
I'm used to it now
And I really don't care
Actually it's kind of comforting
Just knowing that it's there.
