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?

  • i am honored to be in this poem thank you fort, ande ande: You're welcome. If was nothing compared to the tips and advice you've given. And your creativity is so fun and inspiring! I had the most pure fun writing the thank you poem. I was more serious on the "Top TI or not to TI" one. But my most Mer-devilish favorite was "Stacey At Back," which I wrote after a swim meet with one of my forum friends here in mind. She knows who she is. ;)
