(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?

p.s. And Rich, since you mentioned that we should all be able to at least make it through a 25 of each stroke, I say we add the 100 IM to our challenge list along with the 50 free. What do you think?
OK Jim, Now bear in mind I'm not great at either stroke:
Tonight I did dive 50 of Front Crawl with an open turn :32.
I also notched a 25 of Fly from a push at :17 maybe :18 but I think it was :17
The IM looks doable...are you prepared to swim in a bikini at your next event if I win? ;)
