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?

  • sorry, should write a poem first in order to post on this thread, however... Oh, I LOVE cheesesteaks! You can't get them in Chicago (although Portillo's dipped Italian beef with hots is very very good, but an entirely different beast). Ooey, gooey chicken cheese steak is my favorite and the best spot is in Delaware: Claymont Steak Shop on Philadelphia Pike. Just a short jaunt down I-95 and then first exit off I-495. Yum, yum, yum. You are killing me here... Here's a hint: if the cheesesteak establishment looks like it might be shut down by the Board of Health at any moment... and if you can read the newspaper through the wrapper your cheesesteak came in, you've probably found a winner!!! I don't understand scrapple... I think you have to, at minimum, be born in PA to get it.
