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?

  • Kyra and Heather: Those were amazing! :groovy: Glad you joined in the banter, baby sister. Welcome back Sonic! Hang in there! Retaliation To Battle Cry: The postal event is a sordid affair, Swimming an hour on a USMS dare. Only the dim go flip, flip, flip. The 50 fly is way more hip. Mindless freestyle is shoulder wear. In fact, engine building is quite over-rated. Terry avers that the theory's out-dated. So, instead, I aim to vessel shape. Mindfully drilling, not a postal ape. Avoiding the Endless laps, well hated.
