(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?

Now don't start crying after you read it ok?? posted by Blowfish
I have read the results and I have to admit that I am holding back the tears as best I can.....tears of laughter that is! :rofl: :rofl: ....(Only j/k now Rich...calm down...the tears of laughter came as an uncontrollable flood only at the end of Ande's posting where Ande referred to you as the original SwimStud...LOL!!). Actually I thought you did very well for your first meet back in so long (especially in the 100 ***!). Congrats on the good swims. I am sure that I could not swim a 100 *** nearly that fast....(or even complete a legal 200 *** without blowing out a knee...LOL!). So I guess you didn't swim any non-breasstroke events yet....which I can understand being your first meet back and all. You did say in your latest limerick that you were going to try and pick up some events outside of breaststroke though....So I wil let you pick any non-breaststroke event that you want to race me in (nothing over 200 yards or meters though). Its the proper gentlemen's way you know ....to offer the opponent his choice of weapon before a duel.:D
