When you're swimming, you're surrounded by water, but, are you actually drinking enough of it 👀 Staying hydrated is the unsung hero of peak swim performance - helping you power through your laps, recover faster, and avoid that mid-session slump. Here's why your water bottle should be your new bestie 👯♀️
💧Stronger Strokes: Dehydration = tired muscles = slower swims. No thanks!
🏊♀️ More Endurance: Even a tiny dip in hydration can leave you feeling sluggish in the water.
🌡️ Temperature Control: Just because you don't feel sweaty doesn't mean your body isn't working hard!
⚡ Faster Recovery: Less cramping, more cruising. Hydration helps your muscles bounce back post-swim.
How to Hydrate Like a Pro:
✅ Before swimming: Start sipping water a few hours before you swim, so your body is ready to go. Early morning session? Hydrate before bed and as soon as you wake up!
✅ During your swim: Even though you might not feel sweaty, you're still loosing fluids! Listen to your body and sip when needed - especially during long or intense sessions
✅ Post-Swim: Rehydrate after your session to help your muscles recover. Adding electrolytes can be useful after long swims or in hot conditions.
Stay hydrated, swim strong, and enjoy every lap! 💦 Love, JAYD xx
