The meaning of swimming

(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 thought I'd post a self-tribute type thing, since I'll be attending my frist swim meet on Saturday! Get in the water and compete! It's your very first Swim Meet! It's the day you've longed for since starting again in 2004 getting on that numbered block will surely make this day rock Ahhh, the rushing feel of your first race... God I hope I win first place! :p What would Masters be like without a good Swim Meet? No one to talk to, no one to race, or compete? "No!" I say! Can't wait for "Game Day!" So here's to Masters Swim Meets! MAN I love to Compete! I might've meantioned attending my first swim meet in the past, only to be disappointed with the fact of transportation problems, but this is the REAL DEAL! I WILL be attending my first Swim Meet (already registered!!) this Saturday!
