A
simple guide to teaching nutrition to swimmers.
| One
of the foundations of quality training is GOOD
NUTRITION. . |
Something
every swimmer should know before learning about good nutrition
is this:
| Food
does NOT make you swim fast. |
That’s
right. Food does not make you swim fast. What DOES make you
swim fast? Training. Training makes you swim fast. Better yet,
| QUALITY
training makes you swim fast. |
And
part of quality training is good nutrition!
Believe it or not, you don’t get fast during practice.
Practice is where you might see your times improving, but your
adaptation to training (i.e. getting faster) actually
occurs while your body is at rest. Workout is the stimulus
that causes this to happen.
Workouts are hard! Yes they are. They’re supposed to be.
They’re designed to tell the body, “This is hard work for
me…you better do something to enable me to do it again
later.” And the body actually responds by becoming more
efficient – aerobically and anaerobically. During its time
off, the body WILL adapt. But only if you give it the proper
fuels.
Learning about good nutrition can be simple. Conduct your
“Nutrition Course” over the season with these 8
easy-to-read (and learn) educational and practical tips
for teens and twenty-somethings:
1. Fueling
Your Stroke – The Concept of Buying and Burning Gas
2. Eating
Colorful Foods
3. How
Much is Enough?
4. Timing
is Everything!
5. Choosing
the Best Cereals
6. What
IS a Serving?
7. FLUIDS
- Water vs Sports Drink
8. Analyzing
Your Diet

Five
Short Years Ago,
was a brand
new USA Swim Club with only a handful of swimmers. This Month,
at the Short Course
Age Group State Championships, Our Team was
grouped with four others in The Division One
Category as one of The
Five Largest Teams In the State of Georgia. The other four teams
have provided The Benefits Of USA Swimming to their communities
for
39, 26, 17 and 11 years. We Are Proud to so quickly join ranks
with these fine organizations and look forward to a long history of
training young athletes
to Swim,
to
Compete
and to Learn the Value
of Setting and Attaining Goals.

To say Brooke was a phenom at the age of 16
years old when she stormed the 1996 Centennial
Olympic Games would not give her ample respect.
A phenom represents a meteoric rise in a
short period of time.
The problem with that description, Brooke
is still getting better and that is bad news for
the rest of the 400m, 800m and 1,500m swimmers
in the World.
Considered by many to be one of the
All-Time best middle and long distance swimmers
in the World, Brooke has earned all of her
accolades.
Look at some of her amazing
accomplishments: 1996 Olympic Gold Medalist
(800m Freestyle), 1997 Double Gold Medalist at
the Pan Pacific Games (800m & 1500m
Freestyle), 1998 World Champion (800m
Freestyle).
When you think of a female athlete with
all the skills, beauty, intelligence, grace and
a heart of a lion, think of Brooke.

2006
Long Course Recap
It was a great season during the
summer as we saw many accomplishments
made from an individual and team
standpoint.
The highlights included individual
Top 16 rankings by Carly Sweeney and
Kristopher Bryant. The age group
state meet was
a huge success as we finished 4th
in the state and saw our point total almost triple from 2005. To
get a closer look at the summer
season, you can link to the
following meets for an overview of the meet
and accomplishments from our swimmers.
