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?

    Jim was precisely right in his last statement. It was just a great poem that seemed heartfelt. I'm glad the above comment is just a jest. However, some things are best left unsaid or unasked even in jest. This seems to fall into that inappropriate category of posts you previously objected to. Roses are red. Violets are blue. These guys are poets. I wish I were too. I was making a sarcastic comment in response to a suggestive remark by SwimStud. As I recall I objected to the girlfriend/boyfriend kind of chit chat. In this case I chose to make a sarcastic remark about a poem. Much ado about nothing IMHO.
