I have my first meet in almost 2 years coming up here pretty soon, and lucky me, my first event is the 1650. Once I find a good pace, I need a song or I'll :frustrated:. Last time I swam a 1650 I went from showtunes to Savage Garden and seriously considered just floating to the bottom.
So to all you distance lovers out there (:help: ) what's your favorite song to sing when you're swimming?
p.s. I'm hoping to hold between 1:30's and 1:40's so something on pace would be awesome. Oh and no country :frustrated:

I don't sing out loud. My only audible verbal outburst is me screaming right after I jump in every morning. :D
Marilyn Bell says she sang Oh Canada when she swam accross Lake Ontario 32 miles. I think she had to repeat it many times.
When I swam in the Marathon races I pretented to push the key of a cash register to count money, $, $, $, etc. etc. etc.
Kyra - I just noticed that you live in Everett -- my neighbor as I live in Mukilteo. I'm not (yet anyway) a competitive swimmer so wouldn't know you, but it's nice to know of someone nearby.

Kyra, maybe you could share your playlist :wave: ? I would like a list to choose some good tunes for my distance swims with my SwiMP3.
Thanks, Nancy
Sure! When I make one I'll see what I can do about sending it to you.
