What goes through your mind when you go swimming?

Question

I want to have more positive thoughts, but I seem to struggle, and my mind starts worrying. It would really help with my performance if I could remain focused.

Thanks.

Answer 1

during competitions,

ur not supposed to think about wat you're doing

i just concentrate on my breathing,

imagine all my goals,

and persuade myself to go faster when im totally dead,

telling myself i can die later,

you can only swim the race once and when its over, i can collapse

Answer 2

stroke counts-

"1 2 3 breathe or 1 2 3 4 5 breathe." repeat

"kick kick kick" (I forget sometimes)

"wheres the T?"

and sometimes I just remind myself to dolphin or whatever

or I dont think anything at all

Answer 3

About the day. I sing  a lot of songs? in my head of course
