In one month I will be on a plane to Florida for a bit of Winter sunshine and one of my favorite activities when I am in Naples is swimming outside. Granted, there is an outdoor pool here in London but it is really not the same. As I get ready for the trip I am updating the playlist on my swim MP3 player and these are the new songs I am adding that will be great to swim to:
- 10,000 Hours – Dan + Shay with Justin Bieber

What a great gift idea. I have a good friend who is a swimmer and this would make the perfect gift for her.
Must make the work out so much more fun.
Margo says
What a good daughter you are to make a playlist for your dad. I’m sure he really appreciates it.
Elizabeth says
Your dad’s list is too funny. Reminds me of a lot of songs my mom used to sing when I was little. Great idea for any swimmer.
Sally says
Some of these are really oldies but goodies. There’s nothing like a good upbeat song to get you to do more than you thought you could do. Swim hard.
