Do you "hear" rhythm in your mind when swimming?

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.
