(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?

Retaliation/Battle Cry
In and out
They quickly go
If endurance they have
Nobody will know
They hurry in and out
Why not stick around
We all know distance people
Are the coolest in town
Speed to an end
Must have a rest
Why not stick around
For another 200 ***
Gotta hurry and finish
Can't make it that far
Try to make it past a 50
Without a trip to the bar
Try some stamina for a change
Gotta have some staying power
Why not see how far
You can swim in an hour
