The meaning of swimming

(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?

  • For FlyQueen: There was a young lady named Heather, Who did Fly like bird of a feather. But when she tried the breastroke, On the 50 she choked, 'Cos her "frog kick" worked more like tether! For Fortress: There was hot Momma named Les, Who spat posts out like sweets from a Pez, Above all the din, She cried, "I'll use my monofin, "And I don't care what Richjb says!" For SwimStud: There once was a Brit Buoy named Rich. Whose wit caused many a stitch. Born to do ***, He taunted the rest, By asserting the fly they should ditch. Then came the FlyQueen and Fort. They decided to commit a real tort. So they libeled the Stud, As a stick in the mud. And his nickname he had to abort. :groovy: :rofl: :lolup:
