I am constantly surprised that when I do my training sessions at my local pool, there are very few other people apart from myself ,that drink water while they are training.I drink about 1 litre for a 1 1/2 hour session.Do others take in liquids while training or am I an exception?? :cool:

I'm with Shaky on this one. I don't take a water into the pool with me. I am careful however to drink 16 to 20 oz of water in the half hour before I swim. I swim only about 50 - 65 mins. And on the rare occasion that I ride my bike to the pool I do need a water with me, cuz I've already started sucking the fluids out of my body. I also am careful to drink after I swim. Actually I like those Snapple meal replacement thingies right after I swam. Lots of stuff in there including protein.
