(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?
The 50 fly
Is the event to try
SDK and pull and kick
Of the medals I have my pick
The best part is through distance swims I do not have suffer
I just lift weights and I get buffer
What is that silly frog like stroke
I think it was invented as a joke
Streamline, kick, go like hell
Wow, my PB just fell
On it’s shoulder building benefits I am not a hard sell
What is better than swimming this stroke well
Swimmers like Jenny, Ian, and Mike
Are the ones that I most like
They swim fly not that silly ***
They swim fly because of the strokes it is the best
Now I'm on a role ...
