(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?

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

Thanks for acknowledging my first step towards UBD (Unviersal Breaststroke Ddomination) :rofl: It was a hoot. I kind of hold the view that a swimmer shoulld be able to IM 25 of each---even if badly! It's the intent that counts.
50 Free. I'll post my time from tonight at training. I'll warm. Rest and dive in. Open Turn. I'm unpracticed at turns and don't feel like breaking my ankles on the deck b/c of a challenge.
I'll take it as serious as I can. Then we can take it from there, nemesis!
