Why do you swim?

Not sure if this has been asked here... For me, the first reason is that I don't want to be drowned in case of accident :cool: . The last reason is that I'm proud to tell people I swim :D . In between there are a lot of other reasons. What about you? :confused:

    I swim because it is the only thing I have found in life that can compete with the intoxicating solitary intensity and repetition and technicality of ballet, which I can no longer do thanks to musculoskeletal disease. I love the feeling of weightlessness coupled with the motivating knowledge that I must at least finish this length or sink! I love the feeling of being submerged in water. I love the color blue. I love the marvelous contraction and extension that is breaststroke.
