Hello everyone... It's my 3rd time trying to learn how to swim and it's hard. I can't seem to let go of the noodle. My legs don't move correctly and sometimes only one is actually moving.

For the past year I’ve been trying to get my 400m under 8mins and under 2:00/100m. Last week I came so close, doing it in 8:04, this morning I finally got there !! Now to make it consistent !

I have been struggling all week with my pace time today was the best all week and I swam 1200m more today but compared to my last Saturday swim pace im still slow

Want to know more about nutrition? Open water swimming? Data tracking? How to Stay Consistent? Any that you have thought of before? Let me know in the comments and we’ll see what we can do to better improve your skills and sets!!

You know how to utilize macro and micro nutrient dense foods, but what do you eat BEFORE a swim? It's what I call QSL! Quick carbs (meaning easy to digest) + Small portions + Low fat = POWERFUL SWIM!!!! - I see great results in myself and my clients when you eat around 1 hour - 30 minutes before a swim. - Simple carbs/ sugars that are quick to digest! These are a great way to have quick and sustainable energy for the entire duration of the swim. Examples: 1. Banana, nut butter (add honey if needed) 2. Oatmeal and fruit/ Oatmeal and banana (careful on how much, sometimes can be too heavy) 3. Protein smoothie with frozen fruit, banana, protein powder, nut butter 4. Slice of toast with jelly or honey 5. Granola bar 6. Sports drink if low energy but not hungry Try to eat small portions and not too much dairy!! What's the sweet spot? A meal 3 hours before, and a snack 30 - 60 minutes before! Have any questions? Ask away!!
