(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?
To Rich: :joker:
Carnations are pink.
Censorship stinks.
The hot tub is where
Sore muscles repair.
So show us a pic,
And let the wit rip.
To Jim-Bo: :cool:
Roses are red.
Breaststrokers ascrew.
I wish I could be
A fast flyer like you.
Math geeks are cool.
Defenders are too.
Without your support,
I still would be blue.
To ande: :wave:
roses are red
song lyrics are blue
the advice you give me
makes me want to hug you
if I follow your tips
it's eventually true
that i will be faster
but not faster than you
i'll try to rollover
onto my back
i'll go even faster
and report my time back
good luck to you
as the big meet draws near
your rivals no doubt
are quivering in fear
To (S)he-Man: :groovy:
Roses are humdrum.
(S)he-Man is great.
Her swimming feats
Are really first rate.
A wonder woman hero,
You are to us all.
Good luck at your meet.
Swim brave and swim tall.
