(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?

Swimmers from all over the world are writing her notes of encouragement, including Aaron Peirsol and Brendan Hansen! Her guestbook is VERY inspiring to read. Definitely makes you count your blessing when you see someone like her bravely facing her challenges with a positive "can do" attitude.
PLEASE post her a note. Her guestbook takes a long time to download so don't give up!! She would love your poems about swimming. Thanks!
