Regarding "before"...please...not chili (or anything of the sort). Last week one of my workouts was cut short due to the chili some guy had just eaten for lunch ended up in the water.

Just curious about what you eat before, during and after swimming.

1/2 banana before :banana:(I swim first thing in the morning), NOTHING DURING, and 100% whey protein drink after-- chocolate favored, of course! :bliss:
realize that every person is different.
i dont eat before 530am practice
i use a drink mix during practice
and i chow like a starved wolf after
on afternoon workout i have an energy bar about 1hr before
it usually stays down.
also use a drink mix during
and chow after
here is what NOT to do...cinnimmon toast and orange juice...oh thats like drinking lava bomb
Call me weird but a Zone bar and bag of russet potato chips before an evening practice (which I usually do) and a zone bar or two afterward. Oh and wine when I get home. Oddly this works for me. During. ..depends on how long the swim is. Short swim, just water, maybe a sports drink but for longer ones (training for 5.5 mile o.w. swim and later in the summer an 8 mile swim), I include more calories. ... Hammer Perpetuem, for instance.

Typically I can't eat anything before I swim. Especially before a 5 am workout. I had chili last night after work, but too close to bed time. Nobody has seen it again, but it is certainly reminding me it's there.:bolt:
I will have eggs or something high protein after.
Typically I eat nothing before or during, especially if I'm trying to cut weight. After swim I'll normally have a couple pieces of fruit and some nuts for my breakfast. Though, leading into an event when I want to recover more quickly and feel better, I'll drink a recovery drink -- normally Vega Sport Recovery Accelerator.

do you mean swim practice or a swim meet? HUGE difference!

Thanks for the heads up on what to avoid. Knowing what not to do can be more important as what I should do.
