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?

    Nobody has said anything to the contrary. It seems like people are still quite defensive after last week's feeding frenzy. Or is this baiting? Hmm? posted by SCY Freestyler I think both the caped one and I were a little worried that something as innocent as Fort's poetic expression might be misinterpreted in some way ...and then have an accidental backlash effect.....we are all trying to walk on eggshells around here....I promise you that we were definitely NOT trying to bait anyone.....just trying to prevent something before it happens perhaps...but thats all.
