Sick of the Olympics yet?
10. Beth Jeans Houghton & The Hooves Of Destiny - Nightswimmer
9. Eels - Swimming Lesson
And if you feel like you can't swim
When you're thrown in the lake
Just watch the boats
Passin' by you as you
Slip under their wake
Again
8. Camera Obscura - Swimming Pool
7. The Hours - Dive In
And the temperature's the same
When you dip your toe into the icy lake
As when you
Dive in
6. JJ72 - October Swimmer
I want to be a happy boy
5. Dire Straits - Twisting By The Pool
What can I say - I'm a twisting fool...
4. Frank Turner - Front Crawl
I almost missed seeing Frank Turner perform I Still Believe as the warm-up for the Olympics opening ceremony - fortunately a tweet from Miller sent me running to the iPlayer and I was saved. Hope it brought him to a few new ears.
3. R.E.M. - Nightswimming
2. The Go-Betweens - Draining The Pool For You
1. Frightened Rabbit - Swim Until You Can't See Land
Are you a man or are you a bag of sand?
Those are the songs that get me twisting by the pool... but which one would make you dive in?
