When you swim freestyle or backstroke, do you "play" an imaginary rhythmic sound in your mind to help with the strokes? If so what does it sound like? :rolleyes:

I also count strokes... But I'm more interested in whether/how others might imagine a rhythm that accentuates at some point of the stroke cycle. For a long time I somehow used the water sound at hand entry (mainly backstroke) to help with stroke rhythm, but that made me slap the water and my strokes were not smooth.
