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?

  • It is sort of a testiment to a side of human nature we can all relate to ... Newmastersswimmer Not me. :joker: ;) I'm laying claim to that "sudden shaft of sunlight" business. My next contribution will be a nicey mcnice limerick or a jokster poem. I don't want to piss off Ensignada with rank amateur poetry knowing her college thesis ... Look at that avatar. It's enough to scare off anyone. She's a powerful woman and a male superhero ... Wait, I think I'll stop right there. :thhbbb: It's about time, Biblioman!
