TIME STANDS STILL -- by Steve Nadis
For some people swimming offers a kind of time-out, a little break from the workday in which time can almost stand still. Yesterday when I swim, time did stand still. I went into the pool at 1:50p.m., swam a half mile, and came out at 1:50 p.m. Of course, the clock wasn't working at the pool and the sense of time standing still was an illusion. Yet it was an illusion that I welcomed. I hope I'm not overreaching by saying we should all have moments like that from time to time...
