I did a cool survey last week with my age-groupers; I asked them all to tell me what they thought about when they swim in practice, and what they think about when they swim in a meet. I got answers ranging from boyfriends/girlfriends, homework, and music.
So, I'm curious....what do all of you think about when you swim?
Right, it's interesting how the laws of physics adapt, depending on the size of the object. As you probably know, each atom has an electrical interaction with the sub-atomic field, which translates into basic information exchange. It's like everything is "projected" into reality through an energetic "mirror", or an inverted electromagnetic vortex.
I don't know what this means.
And I work at Fermilab.
I guess I'll have to think about it the next time I go swimming. :D
Please post what you were thinking, if you remember. I'd like a step-by-step memoir. 1. The blocks. 2. The swims. 3. Various stages of the swims.
Just for fun... At the BC provinicals when I broke the Canadian records in 100 IM and 100 free.

-Hmmm.. What should I have for breakfast?
-Yogurt, bannana, granola...
-The drive to the pool seems nice enough.
-Ah, the memories, how many times have I raced?
-Okay, just relax in the warm-up...
-You've already trained the body, it will be ready...
-Feel the stretch... the flow...
-I wonder if anyone will care that I entered really slow
in the 100 IM. The 100 free is right after, I wanted as
much rest as possible.
-It's been over 10 years since I swam two like that.
-My heat is starting, I better get on the blocks.
-That's the sound, go, fly smooth and fast.
-Work the turn, underwater, go, finish strong.
-back to breastroke, perfect, just like I've trained.
-This is the best my breastroke has ever felt...
-Okay, last length, give it everything.
-59.65, right on, my best time...
-time for warm-down
-Hmmm... I'm not really tired at all...
-I guess the training has worked...
-The 100 free is the one I really want though.
-I'd better get ready.
-Whoa, there's some tall people in this final heat.
-They're all wearing full body suits, maybe I should've bought one.
-Okay, I'm ready...
-That was a good start, arms feel great.
-Who's that person in lane 2, he's staying with me.
-Okay, it's a real race, 3rd 25, kick, keep it long.
-I'm ahead on the turn, okay, keep the torso down...
51.6
-Right on, people are cheering.
-Whoa, that's not bad, my 9th fastest of my entire career.

Way to go Jonathan! Was that the one you posted the video of?
As I pushed off the wall on the last 25 of the 100 Fly, in order.
"Please God kill me now"
"Wow, my arms ARE only 2 inches long"
"Kick!!!!"
"Don't throw up"
"Please let that be the wall"
What a great question.. I'm still laughing about many of the replies on this thread....
Here is what I think about...

* All things I've got to do that day
* Wow...my shoulder isn't hurtin....damn it's hurting again!!:censor:
* I went to bed at 11 pm, got woke up at 2 am by my daughter, in the water at 5:30 am, I know I'm going to fall asleep at my desk on 11 am....
* Was that length 6 or 8??
* What is that on the bottom and hair ball or a??????
* OMG I am hungry....
* Why do people do water aerobics?
* On good days I have only music in my head.....
* When will there be a young kid who will join our team and lead this lane... I am so tired of leading.
* What an idiot coach... do he/she think I'm on an age group team?
* How can I make my lane mate pissed off -mmm maybe I'll reduce the interval...
