Every swimmer has their own preference of how to get themselves prepared for meets. Some already have their routine down to a tee. For those of you looking to find songs to prepare you to swim fast, look no further! Here are seven songs that every swimmer should listen to before a meet to help get the blood pumping.<\/p>\n

1. \u201cCarry On My Wayward Son\u201d by Kansas<\/h3>\n

This song would fall under the classic rock genre, and it deserves that title because it rocks. Kansas shreds on the guitar to inspire any swimmer to drop a best time the next time they hit the water. This is a personal favorite of mine to listen to right before warming up for my big race, to prepare myself to “carry on”\u00a0and swim fast.<\/p>\n

2. \u201cSandstorm\u201d by Darude<\/h3>\n

This classic piece of early 2000\u2019s techno is a staple for swimming fast. Even though it has become a popular meme on the internet, this song is a definite must-listen-to in the minutes preceding your race. The tempo of the beat will help bolster your swim to the next level.<\/p>\n

3. \u201cGimme Three Steps\u201d by Lynyrd Skynyrd<\/h3>\n

A prime example of southern classic rock\/country, this song is upbeat and the awesome guitar in the background can inspire even people who hate the country sound of music to pull out a fast swim. I would listen to this in the same timeframe as \u201cCarry On My Wayward Son\u201d, right before warmups while mentally preparing yourself to swim fast.<\/p>\n

4. “Stronger” by Kanye West<\/h3>\n

This rap song has the upbeat to make anyone want to drop a best time in the pool. \u00a0Play this song about 10 minutes before swimming your race in order to get yourself focused and amped to put up a good time.<\/p>\n

5. \u201cThrough the Fire and the Flames\u201d by Dragonforce<\/h3>\n

This hard rock song is a classic pump-up song due to its crazy fast guitar shredding. As a sprinter, I am very partial to this song. I always listen to this one right before I\u2019m about to swim to get my heart rate up and prepare to shred my swim like Dragonforce shreds the guitar.<\/p>\n

6. “Firework” by Katy Perry<\/h3>\n

Some of us need positive self-talk before swims, and if you\u2019re one of those people, this song is for you! This hit pop song can make anyone feel like they\u2019re good enough to do anything. Instead of \u201cshooting across the sky\u201d you will \u201cshoot across the pool\u201d. This song is a song you should listen to anywhere from one hour to one minute before your race. You won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n

7. \u201cOne Day More\u201d from the musical Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/h3>\n

Now you\u2019re probably thinking that I\u2019m crazy, adding a musical number in here. But, hey, don\u2019t knock it until you try it. I personally think tunes from musicals are a great way to get ready to swim. Something about the intricately put together beauty of each song gets me ready to swim, and I\u2019m willing to bet that it can help you swim fast too!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not guaranteeing you swim best times just by listening to these songs, but they can help you get into a successful state of mind. Music can help transport you to that magical\u00a0mental place where fast swimming happens.<\/p>\n
