Question about swimming?
i swim about 5 to 6 days a week for 2 to 3 hours each day. everyday our coach gives us our workout and sets. usually i just do it, but there are some days when i'm completely worn out and have no energy. what are some energy drinks, if they even help, that i can drink? maybe foods? or vitamins that i can take? anything that will give me energy boosts so that i will get the benefits of working out.

eat some protein and carbs within a half an hour after getting out of the water. this will help your muscles recover from the workout so you should be less worn out the next day. remember, within a half an hour of finishing your workout, so ideally you would have something in your swim bag or in the car, because you may not get home in time. chocolate milk, peanut butter crackers, or half a lean turkey sandwich are all great options for after your workout. whenever you are swimming 2 hours or longer, you should also have an energy drink poolside to replace carbs and electrolytes during the workout. gatorade and powerade are great. if you go with one of the gels or energy bars instead, remember that they need to be taken with lots of water. it is really easy to get overheated in the pool and 2-3 hour workouts really deplete your muscle stores, so having a sports drink at the wall is a must. plus, always carry a water bottle with you, all day, to make sure you are getting enough fluids. you should be drinking 80 ounces of water a day at least. being dehydrated can make you feel tired and less able to work hard. also, avoid caffeine at all costs, it will dehydrate you more. if you want a pick up, eat some complex sugars like fruit instead. also, try stretching after practice, before you go to bed, in the morning, or when you have a free period at school. stretching will help your muscles repair more efficiently.Fresh fruits give you an energy boost and are much better for you than energy drinks.

Gatorade after swimming. This will replace all your lost vitamins and minerals from sweat and energy loss. Because you are doing a lot of swimming and this can get very tiring if you do alot (from experience) you will need to make sure that you have alot of sleep. For athletes, you need at leat 10 hours per day. By ensuring that you have alot of sleep, you will be at your highest for performance. Try to eat alot of bananas. These can be digested very quickly before races and training and have plently of energy. When your at home, try to have some marmite. You may not like the taste but it will give you plenty of iron which women need alot of and it is known to give alot of energy for sports. Ensure that you have alot of fruits, vegetables and a balanced diet and drink plenty of water.Good luck with your training!
