Hello, Good morning everybody. In the website www.body360nutritionals.com/.../bodycrunch.htm I found some information about Whey protein and casein protein. Can someone please tell me which one is good for a swimmer?

  • For a ½ mile open water swim, I suggest training as you would train for a pool mile. Also incorporate sighting into your drill sets. Many people recommend alligator sighting (periodically raise your head a little so your eyes are looking in front of you; try to keep nose and mouth underwater). I prefer shark sighting (after a breath, rotate your head forward to sight then lower your head as your arm finishes its recovery).
