(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?

I've been feeling better physically since I started swimming. I have more energy and my knees are getting better after getting kind of weak from a long sedentary period I went through.
In turn, this has given me a general improvement in my feeling of well being. I feel more competent and capable. I also notice feeling more comfortable and confident in relating to others in general, probably because I feel better about myself.
