Originally posted by swimshark In our evening practice, the syncro team is practicing at the same time so we get to hear their music underwater. But, after listening to the same song, over and over for months, I'd rather have silence! I'm trying the quote thing... I hope it works! We too listen to the synchro music. I have also learned how to count to 8! "One-two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight," over and over as they pound on the metal ladder with the wrench used to tighten the lane lines! Hey,wait a minute they don't use lane lines! What are they doing with the wrench?!

I love Aerosmith, Van Halen, Bad Company, Springsteen (his old stuff)....any good ol' ROCK AND ROLL with a fast beat and lots of guitar and drums gets me psyched up for swimming! ;)

Has anyone used a pool that had an underwater sound system? I know they exist. Someday, when I have my own industrial building that I have converted into a mansion, I'll probably install a sound system in the pool to jam during the workout. Lately I've been jamming on anime soundtracks. The Cowboy Bebop soundtracks by Yoko Kanno are awesome, with the best theme song of any television show EVER. I'm also currently enjoying the soundtrack from Noir, which features a weird combination of strings and operatic vocal work set to a dance beat. Otherwise, I listen to whatever. Different moods require different tunes, swimming or not.

No hard core rap for me. How about some hard core metal?

The theme from "Rocky" will get you pumped up. I was treated to a Roy Orbison tape last night from my In-Laws. The Black and White Night from 1987. Had Jackson Browne, Elvis Costello, T-Bone Burnett, J.D. Souther, Jennifer Warnes, kd lang, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Waits as back-up! It was awesome.

Mid-'80s alternative or punk works to get my blood pumping in the morning. These days "Begin the Begin" by REM is the choice song for getting me psyched. I try playing music in my head as I swim, but I can't do that and count laps. :)

Top Gun cd! Nothing like a little Danger Zone to get you pumped for a good workout at 5am!

If I need wake up music, I listen to Disco. If I need to psych up... sometimes I listen to trance - dance versions... It's fast, with good rythm. For fun, I mostly listen to Pop... 80's and 90's and current stuff.

I like a wide variety of music! My favorites are classic rock and roll like the Eagles, Aerosmith,Van Halen,CCR, Jimmy Buffet and Billy Joel. I also like country like Alan Jackson, Shania Twain and Brad Paisley

I can't relate. I sleep like a rock. My wife ends up dealing with all of the middle of the night kid problems.:D

I have to agree with Ed the Head, Metal, Metal and more Metal. I swim at 5:30 AM and need a good wake up call of Metalica, Judas Priest, GodSmack or Disturbed. Gets the blood moving.

Classical guitar or piano to calm me down. As I'm pretty ticked off waking up so early after the little kids keep me awake throughout the night asking for water, help with the light, bathroom, bad dreams......so cute though. I'm sure a lot of you could relate :-)

Talk radio. I love to keep up with local and national politics. I find the long sets and distance work give me ample time to figure out the worlds problems. Unfortunately, I forget about the details on my home.:D

Metal, all metal. I keep in my car Twisted Sister's Stay Hungry album. Still pumps me up. Though that's not the only CD I listen to before working out.
