Cold plunges and cold showers are for wimps. As a competitive swimmer, getting up in the morning to swim laps is wonderful. It was a blast to dive into the deep end of competitive swimming research for this assignment. Each athlete should learn how to fuel the body for maximum performance.
This paper identifies the best techniques a swimmer can use to increase performance. I combined my own personal experience of spending 30+ hours (weekly) in the water with data from multiple outside resources.
I read, studied, and analyzed content from a wide range of perspectives. Each source opened my eyes to the importance of diet, recovery, and “hitting your taper,” concepts that are commonly discussed at swim practice's. This confirmed my personal experience with the sport.
