Creatine - anyone using it to enhance their meet performance?
Former Member
Just wondering. We have a little debate in our club if it is effective or not for swimmers. I know 100 - 200 m athlete sprinters use it frequently, so it might be interesting for at least 50 m distances in the pool.
Comments anyone?

I thought creatine was on the banned list for NCAA swimmers ...
I never checked because I knew I wasn't gonna use it, but I would highly not doubt that it is there.
And if you want to build muscle...reduce fatigue there are other...more natural? maybe? supplements. A lot of the kids on my team(s) have used that whey protein stuff that you mix in your drinks...I am no sure just how well it works or if it serves any of it's claimed purpose. I drank it once and almost lost everything I had eaten that week...
