(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?

Does this also include your new found friend and self proclaimed Mathelete Leonard Jansen then?.......I can't help but get the feeling that I'm that bunny rabbit who keeps wanting to eat some of the tricks cereal but keeps being rejected.
Sigh... You think we'd be used to this by now: Help 'em with their calculus homework, they ace the final and then they dump you for some UT swim-type. ("I really like you as a friend/brother.") My God, I had to marry outside the human race - Deb is of Ukrainian extraction - and I had to court her starting when she was 18 and still too ignorant of Earthling interactions to even have a chance.
Now we can't be lifeguards? I smell a discrimination lawsuit in this. No, on second thought, our own lawyers would probably beat us up, take our lunch money and give us wedgies.
