(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?

Get well soon for both Heather and Rich!.....Its been suggested by Fort that Heather joins forces with me and LBJ in our merciless takeover to assimilate all the poor breastroking fools into racewalkers and Butterfliers....(Although Heather may not want to join arms with the new arch enemy of her beloved friend rich?).....I've noticed several of y'all complaining about these winter ailments (including the fort)....I guess I've been lucky so far (Knock on wood).
