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.
Swimmers DO talk and sing to themselves. My concern is what the effects will be from years of watching and following a black line painted on the pool bottom. Will our great-grandchildren need to paint a line on the floor for us to follow to the bathroom, car, kitchen, etc.? Will scenery deprivation have a negative impact on how we view the world? These are things I talk to myself about when I swim and I'm starting to get some pretty good answers from the person I'm talking with!
