I was thinking today about a lot of things (class is over and I only work part-time so I have A LOT of free time :)) and I started to think about my swimming. Why I had started back, why I was doing it now, and what I hoped to someday accomplish with it. So then I began to wonder why every one here swam? What is your reason for dragging yourself out of bed every morning? What made you decide to come back after all those years off (if in fact you did take years off)? Is it for fitness, for fun, or some other reason? Just curious!

To tell you the truth, I don't know why I swim. I could give you all kinds of plausible reasons (i love to compete, i like staying in shape, "i like food" (haha, Kyra), and even that it really IS the most fun you can have without being naked (though some would argue - why I don't know))
And sure, that's part of it for me. But there's something else to it. Even sitting here right now, I want to be in the pool. There is something about the water that just draws me in. My moms have home videos of me in the pool since I was a baby, and we did those little kid swimming socials they have, where the tiny little babies get in the pool with their parent, and there are songs and all that. (Sometimes I miss those days :D )
I think it's just the pure love of the water. Either that or I'm weird. Possibly a correlation, and that I'm both. ;)
