(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?

Maybe this is the best place to post my poem about swimming.
Imagine Swimming
Streamlining in a cool fluid flow,
With only air and water to soothe the senses,
Being entirely present through this rhythmic motion,
As past tension transmutes into current reflections,
Nothing now but sweet sublimation in this aqueous moment.
