(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?
Oh,it looks so very hard to do,
Flip turns to me are really new,
Spinning, Turning, Twisting,
At first I only tried one or two.
Oh, I have water up my nose!
The wall is too far or too close!
Trying, Persevering, Achieving,
It is not THAT difficult, I suppose!
Oh, my spirit is truly soaring today!
I learned a new trick to play,
Twirling, Spiraling, Swirling,
Now I want to flip EVERYDAY!

Oh, THE lifeguard was back at the pool,

He said he liked my hair.
I was trying not to stare....

Hooray Swimmy!!! that's awesome!!! don't you love it when the lifeguards notice!
After reading this and what Swimmy wrote I'm thinking that lifeguarding may not be all that bad as a second career choice now!.....All I have to do is compliment the ladies then right?....and then it's all downhill from there!....LOL!!

Oh, my dear math loving guys,
Don't be sad about my wandering eyes,
Peering, Flirting, Peeking,
I'm sure you are very fashionable with your
pocket protectors and ties!
