(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?

HAHAHAHA!!! Yes, it's quite entertaining to walk into class sometimes. Get some strange looks...so I just look back like they are crazy for not being wet.
As for the feeble old man thing...well, I do race the old guy in the lane next to me. True he doesn't know but still. I would race you anyway..and besides you have a fish head..meaning gills so you don't have to breath so you have an advantage. So we're probably evenly matched.:D
