(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?

Very funny. I am now going to have to read all 23 pages of this thread in my spare time, which I don't have any of now. I seem to recall a poetry thread on which you might have contributed. So you should feel free to chime in! P.S. You really gotta change that user name. You are an old hand at this now.
