Does anyone else ever mentally hum a tune during swim practices and/or races? My personal favorite, when I am trying to summon energy from my exhausted body, is the 1812 Overture--I try to time it so the cannons start firing towards the latter part of the race.
I'd be interested to hear what goes through other peoples' minds as they swim, musical or otherwise.

When I used to swim by myself, plodding along, lap after lap, I had songs going through my mind all the time. I could even pray the rosary while I was swimming:)
Now that I've started Masters swimming, I don't ever sing songs in my head. It is so much nicer having a coach and not boring in the least.
Another thing I've noticed is I hardly ever miss a practice and when I was lap swimming by myself it was very easy to talk myself out of showing up.
