(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?

It's been a while since I've posted here at the USMS forums and well... I'm back with quite a tale!
On July 1st and 2nd, I attended my *FIRST* Long-Course Zones Meet and I had a *BLAST!* I was entered in nine events and came home with eight medals! two third place medals, four second place, and two first. I think I did my best 50 fly! That's right, Mark, 50 Fly!! I was DQ'd on my 100 back, but that's okay because it's a learning experience and it also tells me that I need to improve on my backstroke
Now onto other swimming related news: Yesterday, I recorded a swimmer's love song, called (I'm No) Competitor. You can download it at:www.weirdojace.is-a-geek.com/.../(I'm No) Competitor (Rock Vers.).mp3
