Just Keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming...

Sunday, June 24, 2012

Hello all!!

I know, I know, it's been WAY too long since I've posted or even been on here.

For about the last six months I have been feeling less and less motivated with my journey and I need to kick my butt into gear! I have been running again and I am so not doing well and for a while I didn't understand why and then I realized that I ran so much better when I was swimming!! Swimming increased my lung capacity and cardio so that when I was running it was only my legs getting sore that was an obstacle not passing out from lack of oxygen lol.

Anywho, the point of this blog is this: I am compiling a swimming soundtrack for my iPod and I need help from you all to get some more songs. I have an AWESOME waterproof iPod case which lets me listen to tunes in the water but I need fun swimming, water, ocean, beach themes songs to keep me swimming.

Here's what I have so far:
Just Around the River Bend- from Pocahontas
Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay
Splish Splash
Under the Sea- from The Little Mermaid
Yellow Submarine
Beyond the Sea
Raindrops Keep Fallin' on my Head
Proud Mary
Octopus' Garden
Smoke on the Water
Surfin' USA
Just Keep Swimming- from Finding Nemo
California Girls- Beach Boys NOT Katey Perry
Water- by Brad Paisley
Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
Come on In the Water's Fine- from Jem and the Holograms (oooooh ya!)
Mack the Knife
Surfin' Safari
Surfer Girl
Under the Boardwalk
Surf City

What do you guys think? Do you have anymore suggestions? I want a really long play list so that I have tons of motivation. Not a huge fan of instrumental music but if you guys know of any others let me know!

    Wow, I'm impressed how you able to compile a playlist that related to water, swimming and anything that related! And what a wonderful thing to have, a waterproof casing so even while under water, you still can have your music :D

How about Car Wash by Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott? Whenever I listen to this song, I keep remember the singers' water creatures version instead of human version, haha.

    Come Sail Away- Stix, Rock Lobster- B52s, And It Stoned Me- Van Morrison, Seaside Rendezvous- Queen...

Those are the only ones I can think of. Awesome that you can listen to music with the waterproof case!

    Looks like you have a great start. Not sure what I could add. Anything from the Beach Boys is swim music to me.
