For me, swimming is also a very intellectually stimulating activity. I work in the science and engineering field and I do some of my best thinking while lap swimming.
I also read that the Japanese are also very aquaphilic personalities and some of their engineers have come up with their best ideas while in the hot tub or in the pool.
Swimming provides such a great natuaral "high" and it really sharpens your mind. ;)

During short races, not much goes through my head aside from thinking about pulling hard and embracing the suffering.
During longer races, I hear songs in my head. For that reason, I always listen to good music before my races. That way, I can avoid singing La Bamba to myself for two miles. :)
When I work out, I picture faces and have imaginary conversations with them. ;)
