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:
Here's a little exercise that everyone can do. I have my doubting swimmers do it to prove a point. That is, if you think you don't need water while working out.
Weigh yourself before practice (make sure you have eliminated bladder and bowel).
Take a 16-oz bottle of water to the pool with you. Make sure you note how much of it you drink during practice.
Weigh yourself again after practice. There will be a difference ratio between the amount of water left and the weight before and after.
