CompetitionDuring Competition (Refuel)
During a heat or finals session it's important to remain hydrated between events with water and sports drinks. If it's a 1-2 hour break between events, a more substantial snack or meal is recommended (Swimfood, 2012). Foods such as fruit, nuts, yoghurt, protein bars and small carbohydrates such as sandwiches are good to help recover from one race and prepare for the next. |
Small snacks including fruit, nuts, muesli bars and sports bars and drinks are perfect for when there is a break between races. |
