I just wanted to know what you eat before your swim practices or meets whether it be early in the morning or evening.
Thanks

I can't eat before I swim, at least right before I swim. I need at least and hour or two or I get cramps which hurt. :mad:
I however also can not swim on an empty stomach so it's a catch 22 in the mornings at 4 am. I have found that I can drink Gatorade before I leave to have energy and not get cramps. I've had to learn what I can and can not eat over the last two years after I got some ulcers. For the most part I know what to do now but sometimes I still get cramps.
