petronia1 The channel is not your friend
2 It’s cold, you’ll shiver
3 Don’t swallow the seawater
4 Try to get the extra-centimeter out of every stroke
5 Rhythm reduces effort
6 Put one hand in front of the other until you grab the sand
7 Think about anything and everything but not about how much longer
8 The water is never what you expect
9 Never give in to drowning
10 Even if you are perfect, there’s no guarantee
(The Notwist, "Solo Swim" - soundtrack music for a German documentary about swimming the Channel from Dover to Calais. The actual lyrics of the song run thus: now that everything returns to this / will your bones relax? / now that everyone says hi to this / will your bones relax? / hang on / hold tight / you're falling off the roof / hang on / hold tight / the ground is going to move / to move)
