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. ;)

Lately the syncronized swimming team has been practicing while I am doing my workout. They are playing "La Bamba" over and over and over on the underwater speaker...........thinking is impossible at this time
This is what I think about.........
-Ya know...what do I think about?? I want to reply to that thread that asks "What do you think about when you swim?"
-Our asst. coach announces the set like an announcer at Sea World. Annoying.
-WOW our head coach is sexy! focus focus. keep it to yourself and maintain. Try not to regress to being 12 yrs old.hehehehehe
-I really need to work on my breath control.
-Work on and off the walls.
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. ;)
Free - Nice push off- oops the fingers were not together/ hey was that a large spider hanging out in the lane rope? New pool-Flip-turn- damn they put slick tile in the middle of the wall - flip to the right or left.
Backstroke, hey there is a deflated balloon left in the rafters- keep your head back- dig dig ... wonder if that solid feeling item that just passed over my head was that spider I saw earlier. Here comes the wall, arch and stick the finish...........
I also used to think that I was the onlyone in the Universe, everybody else were part of my imagination and if I died everyone else would stop existing as well, but now that I have children I do not think on that anymore...........But why would everyone else still exist without me????,... I mean what for? :confused:

My thoughts exactly:
"I hope that girl with the nice butt came like i asked"
"Is that my mom screaming like that? Yup."
"Oh man"
"Uh oh, i gotta pee."
"I don't think lactose intolerance & large milkshakes mix."
"If I win i'm gonna get some sex,better start kickin'."
"If I lose I'll get even better sex. well too late."
"Yes!!!! tomorrow is freaky friday."
"Is he in front of me or did i lap him? dose'nt matter swim faster."
