(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?

Wow, I blink an eye and come back to see such a creative explosion on this thread....I am so loving this new ressurgence of energy on this old thread! I really hope it will continue for a while because I am really enjoying reading all these great new poems! ....and even Heather has now gotten into the act. I must say that your first attempts at swimming poetry are very impressive Heather! I also want to say that it is great to hear from Sonic again although I am really sorry to hear about these unfortunate problems you are having right now....Just remember Sonic, that we will always be here to support you no matter what....Like it or not, you are a permanent member of our "twisted USMS family" (as Kyra puts it). I hope that you have still been able to produce some of that terrific music you use to make and stay in touch with those other awesome bands like the nuclear bubblewrap (Did I say that right??). You have a great talent for that Sonic.....If you have an recent musical creations, perhaps you could share some of them with us sometime?
