"Life is always moving.
Stand up and rise above the rest with passion in your arms and fire in your heart.
Dare to dream, dream high, dream ahead."
-Rohit Sapra
When I wear my SwiMP3, this song always gets me moving in the pool:
The Current (featuring Gavin Rossdale) by the Blue Man Group.

Help My Flutter Kick is Horrible
thought you might enjoy my response to his question

Ande, thanks to you, I have a new found appreciation for that song. I've always loved it, but now whenever I hear it, I will think about kicking harder so I can swim faster!
Dear "Surf Dog" aka "Swim Dog"
for some reason I want to nick name you "Eliane-iac" cause I like you curiousity and passion for swimming
wanted to let you know there is a member on this forum who goes by the name "aqualung." We were having a discussion in

Ande, you ROCK!:cool: By the way, I checked out your music website and listened to a few clips the other day. So, you are a musician, a swimmer, and can write. WHAT ELSE DO YOU DO??? :applaud:
I showed your flutter kick response to my husband (a former rock drummer who loves Jethro Tull) and he busted up. CLEVER! I hope "Aqualung" appreciated it as much as I did!
I'll continue going by "Aqua Dog" around the house, but your are more than welcome to call me "Elaine-iac". It fits! And, I take it as a compliment. :)
By the way, I have a quote to ad: "Believing in your dreams can be far more rewarding than living by your limitations." I found that little gem in a movie review of "The Little Princess" (a movie I never saw), by Karla Peterson, of the San Diego Union-Tribune. She was reviewing the lead character and that sentence just hit me. I liked it so much, I wrote her a letter letting her know how much I appreciated it.
Hey Aqua Fox,
thank you for your kind comments, I hope one day Swim Faster Faster will be a book.
I'm not a musician, just a songwriter. Here's a song I cowrote that's not on songramp.com/ande, hope it moves you.
Dreamer and Her Dream
what else can I do?
juggle with my hands turned down,
blow bubble rings from the bottom of the diving well that stay together all the way to the surface,
blow out a candle by squeezing my hand above it,
360's on a skateboard (even after not being on a skateboard for years)
suck in my stomach then push out the middle like this
