(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?
You all are so talented and I'm not. It makes me sad.:(
Roses are red.
Poolraat is blue.
Here comes a hug,
To cheer up you.
If a poet you're not,
Then a flyer you'll be.
With monofin in hand,
You'll soon crush me.
To Nationals you go.
Daughter by side.
You'll scorch the pool up,
A wild, fast ride.
Then you'll come back,
And take on pal Stud
The 100 IM,
A grudge race with bud.
Then you'll sit in the tub.
Beers at the ready.
Chatting 'bout forum friends.
Both wicked and steady.
