A few reminders for the Championship Meet next week
2 important notes to mention:
1. On the day of the championship swim meet, do not overeat. Smart snacking throughout the day will help eliminate this possibility. Stick with small portion sizes and don’t forget to allow a 2-hour window of digestion time before the meet. An early dinner around 4 is best. Try spaghetti with meat sauce or a piece of chicken with potatoes or rice and a few vegetables. It’s important to hydrate so drinking water throughout the day is needed. During the meet bring fresh fruits and healthy, carb loaded snacks, such as bagels, cereal bars, a plain sandwich (peanut butter and jelly is good), and crackers. Bring plenty to drink as well. Hydration is important. Hold off on eating candy until the end of the meet.
2. Double capping is a great way to ensure goggles stay in place. If your swimmer has 2 caps, they are encouraged to double cap (cap, goggles, cap).
