(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?
Yes, I was. Were you? Doing some awful long distance event? Or is it strictly open water?
I swam that ole 50 fly there. I cheered on your teammates. I helped Swimmie AvsFan get distracted so that Muppet swam an 850 free. Not! I also watched the epic dual between those two in the 100 back. Muppet has quite a start! I'm sure it's that monofin he uses once in awhile for SDKs.
I love your pool even better than mine. Only been there twice, once LC once SCM. But I had good luck there. Sometimes, I have trouble seeing the walls on the finish though ... But it's got great gutters. I had to swim that 50 fly in lane 1. You're lucky to swim there with great teammates. Maybe you should write a little ditty about your team? I did really like your Ode to the Locker Room poem!
Yes, I was there. I don't swim pool races. I was at the award table giving out the medals and saying..."Great job! Thanks for coming!" If you won anything I gave your medal or ribbon.
That ode is about my other pool(Mont. Co. Rec pool) where I swim on non practice days. That was an old poem before I joined the team.
Swimmy :)
