If you want to make finals at your next swim meet, here a few of the most common mistakes swimmers make: 1. Skipping warm-down 2. Thinking the whole meet is wasted because you added time in your “best” event. (Don’t just give up, you can surprise yourself in the next event) 3. Eating sugary snacks between races. Hello sugar crash! 4. Spending too much time on your feet walking around and socializing between your events. Save your legs and socialized after racing. 5. Not hydrating enough. 6. Skipping dynamic dryland warm-up. Think jumping, skipping and arm swings! It helps prep your body for explosive activities better than static stretching. 7. Skipping breakfast because of nerves 8. Racing without a plan 📸: @swimoutlet • • • • • #swimming #swimmer #swim #swimmingpool #swimpractice #swimlife #swimmemes #swimmers #swimteam #swimmerslife #triathlete #swimcoach #swimmeet #swimmerproblems #swimmingmemes #swimbikerun #swimclub #triathlon #backstroke #swimminglife #freestyle #butterfly #competitiveswimmer #breaststroke #swimproblems #pool #swimmermemes #swimtraining #competitiveswimming #swimmingclass
