(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?

7 am and it's cold. I'm anticipating,
The meet starts in a short while.
I'm a little tense and just want to get racing,
Get off the block and into the water.
The wait leaves to much time to think,
It's time to shut off, just swim to my beat,
First some eggs and coffee.
It snowed overnight.
I'm nervous but I am going to do this.
Take your mark, get set...
