For the average swimmer, who spends the majority of workout with two ears full of water, music can be a rare commodity. Balancing intervals and reading clocks may seem like silent activities, but before you label them, check out all the benefits of adding sound to your workout. You may be surprised what good a few of your favorite tunes can do.

Music provides a beat for your body, and by extension, your stroke. But, not all rhythms are created equal! Human cardiovascular systems respond differently to songs based on their beats per minute (BPM). To maximize your performance, choose songs with BPMs ranging from 125-140. To calculate a song’s BPM, tap your foot to the main melodic section for 15 seconds. Multiply the number of taps by four; that’s the song’s approximate BPM. If you’re not as musically inclined, you can also look up a specific song’s BPM on the internet or read more about BPM.
