I’m doing a swimathon on Wednesday, where I shall be ploughing through swathes of small children on their half term holiday, and swimming as many lengths as I can for a charity close to my heart: the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association UK. Tomorrow night I’ll be loading up my waterproof mp3 player with podcasts and choons. So, can you lot help me out with any recommendations on an aquatic theme, to entertain my ears and brain while I gradually lose all feeling in my arms and legs and turn into a prune? I’ve started the playlist off with Morphine – Sharks (which contains the insistent command to “Swim like a motherf**er!”) and Courtney Barnett – Aqua Profunda (which has slightly less urgent focus: “I was getting dizzy/My hair was wet and frizzy”). Any memorable watery-themed podcast stories would also be welcome…

(There’s more information about the PWSA UK charity on my Just Giving page, plus some rather ‘interesting’ and possibly ‘slightly Photoshopped’ training photos. You could always sponsor me too, if you’re feeling generous!)
