Hi -
I'm going to my first practice tonight -- my first organized swim practice since before I was in High School -- and I have what may be a stupid question.
The practice is at 8:30 pm and ends at 10 pm. I obviously need to eat dinner beforehand, but when and how much? Does anyone have any pre-practice meal advice for me?

I think you're worrying about it too much, and you probably already know what you should do. I've been known to eat anywhere between nothing and 4 whoppers with cheese right before practice and don't feel my practices were ever effected by what was in my stomach at the time.
Afterwards On a regular basis i eat 2 lbs of lasagna or other pasta. lol.
When I swam at noon I went through a phase of having pre-swim pizza. Now in the morning it's coffee and bananas, and coffee and bagel after. Everyone is probably a little different.
