Welcome to our Food & Nutrition Section Diet tips that we hope will enhance your lifestyle, and hopefully, your swimming too. General Nutrition Tips Eat plenty of carbohydrates such as potatoes (not chips). Wholemeal bread is a very good source of carbohydrate and fibre. Drink plenty of fluids (not fizzy drinks). Eat plenty of fruit (all kinds of fruit are good for you). Cereals such as Bran flakes and Weetabix (not sugar coated) are full of vitamins, carbohydrate and fibre. Before Swimming Don't eat a large meal directly before training. You'll only feel sick whilst training. During Swimming Always remember to bring your drinks bottle. It is important to keep body fluid levels stable. Dehydration can affect performance levels. Don't make juice too concentrated. When you are very thirsty in the pool it will taste too sweet and not seem refreshing. After Swimming Within half an hour after training, have something light to eat like a banana or some digestive biscuits. Avoid eating too much of the following foods Chips Chocolate and sweets Sugary cereals
