Because for us, swimming is more than a pastime, it is our passion, our solace, our addiction of choice, the one thing we look forward to more than anything else. It’s the only time I feel truly alive. It keeps us centered and focused, it slows down the aging process, it lowers our blood pressure, it improves our stamina, our memory, our lung capacity, our general outlook on life itself. Were it not for the pool, in fact, we’d probably all be dead.
