(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?

Wow, Swimmy, I couldn't swim in 37 degree waters. I'd freeze to death. Speaking of swims! I'm going to my *SECOND* (short-course) swim meet in less than two weeks! I love swim meets so much, but they're so far and few these days! I wish we had more in my area. Preferably a *FIVE DAY* swim meet. Five days in LANE FIVE! :chills: Ooooh! Just the thought excites me!! Speaking of Fives... I've entered in *FIVE* events. WOW, FIVE!!!

After the meet, we'll be treated to a pasta dinner at an Italian cafe that's next to the pool. We'll see how well this one goes. Stay tuned and find out!
