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?

  • Ummm...other than the fact that you swim breaststroke all the time and absolutely love it, and have conceded that I'm pretty much the most amazing person you've ever met....then no. Jim, maybe your memory is faltering??? :rofl: Kyra, you are rather amazing and breaststroke is awesome. I'm taking out Jessica Hardy, Tara Kirk, Amanda Beard, Megan Jendrick, etc. at Olympic Trials and setting the world record in both the 100 and 200 just for kicks! And back to reality we go ... Kyra, I did have a run in with some fabulous UT men so ... it might be a toss up ;)
