(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?

One other thing to mention about accessing a copy of the book:
Apparently you have to join the yahoo group where the book is stored in order to access it. Just click on the big link at the top of the homepage that says "Join This Group" and follow the basic instructions given after that....I know....it's a little bit of a pain and all....but the reward of accessing a copy of the nice poetry book Kyra put together makes it definitely worth the small inconvenience of filling out a small electronic form....and after you join the group....stop by and leave a message on the messageboard from time to time....this will then provide us with yet another NSR sidekick for this discussion forum!
