(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 am a dedicated "Aquaphile" and I've always loved being in the water whether it be the pool for lap swimming or water polo or just taking a simple bubble bath.
Swimmers are also a pretty cool group of athletes too and I've met quite a few interesting people while engaging in this sport.
As a matter of fact, I had my first real crush on the life guard at the pool where I went swimming when I was 8 years old. I looked forward to going swimming just so I watch her -Sooooooo cute!!! :D
