(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?

Apropos of no one in this particular thread, a short memorial to recent time:
In my dark, dark heart,
Caught alone nursing my scorn
I miss the sudden shaft of sunlight
That comes by chance in dewy morn.
In my rush to be the one called right
I am deaf to music, hear only spite
In the dark, dark apart.
Eloquently said. Apropos of most of us at some time or another.
