Break after a big meet

How long do you take after a big meet? I've found that I've had a problem after a big meet like nationals or in this case Pan Ams to get back in the water. Do you typically take some time off before getting back in the water or do you get right back in the Monday after?

  • I don't do as many meets as OW swims, but usually take at least a week off after a big race, depending on how I feel. Usually the second week, I come back not doing as much mileage, but just enough to get the body loose again while recovering. Like some of the others, listen to your body.
