I · Pool Swimming Music

Pool Swimming Music · Built for the Race

Two competitive swimming anthems. One for freestyle. One for butterfly. Written for swimmers who actually race, not for poolside background music.

Freestyle · 50 · 100 · 200 · 800 · 1500
EN Buy · WAV
02
Built for the Fly
Butterfly · 50 · 100 · 200 · Final-fifty
EN Buy · WAV
“A freestyle anthem written for the full event list. Sprint power, pacing, distance grit, and the final wall touch that decides a heat.”
Who
Age-group, college, and masters swimmers who race. Freestyle and butterfly specialists.
When
Behind the blocks. The walk from the call room. The last set before a taper meet.

Race-day pressure has its own rhythm. The songs match it.

M · Open Water Music

Open Water Music · Every Stroke Counts

A song for the long middle. The kilometer where nothing is happening except stroke, breath, sight, stroke, breath, sight. Written for open water swimmers and for the swim leg of any triathlon.

01
Every Stroke
Ambient · Open Water · 4:10
EN Buy · WAV
“Open water rewards a specific kind of athlete. Not the fastest one. The most consistent one. The one who can hold the same stroke at minute fifty as they had at minute five.”
Who
Marathon swimmers, Oceanman competitors, 5K and 10K open water swimmers, triathlon swim-leg specialists.
When
Long training swims. Pre-race quiet. The drive to the start line.
Why
No walls, no lanes, no clock on the wall. Just stroke, breath, sight.
Next
Read the open water page. Follow KimDem for future releases.

D · Endurance and Triathlon Music

Endurance and Triathlon Music

Three disciplines. Three things to manage. Three things not to do. Music for the swim, the bike, the run, and the two transitions in between.

01
Don’t Drown, Don’t Crash, Don’t Trip
Swim · Bike · Run · Race-day Anthem
EN Buy · WAV
“Three things every triathlete is actually thinking about on the start line. Not ‘win the race.’ Get through the swim. Get off the bike. Cross the line on two feet.”
Who
Sprint, Olympic, 70.3, and Ironman triathletes. Brick-session loyalists.
When
Race day. T1 and T2 mental rehearsal. Long brick sessions.
Why
A triathlon is three races. The song moves through all three.

M · Scholar Music

Scholar Music · Evidence, Pressure, and Thinking Clearly

In development. Music for study, focus, evidence, pressure, and disciplined thinking. New tracks will sit here as they are written.

In Development

No scholar tracks have shipped yet. The shelf is open. As songs are written for study sessions, evidence work, and the pressure of academic decision-making, they will appear here. Concept titles below are placeholders, not announcements.

Field Notes The Evidence Track The Learning Loop Pressure Decoder Make Evidence Matter

Every song lives inside one of The KIMDEM Moves. Stream the catalog, buy lossless WAV files for the music you want to keep, or step into a persona page and read the work behind the songs.
