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?

Fort....sorry to disagree but the 50/100 free are almost 100% about power and strength.....and these types of products can/do help.
That's OK. ;) Looks like you also disagreed with Matt and HWMNBN. I said I wasn't an expert and although Rich has been calling me a "science experiment" lately, I have not experimented on my body with creatine yet. Just what I've read ... I'm already a caffeine druggie anyway, although not really quite up to Frank's 8 cup before the big race cheater standard. I won't use creatine though -- even to enhance my beloved 50s and 100s. I just don't want to enhance my back and shoulders anymore than they have already been enhanced through swimming. :rofl:
What happened to SPL being important for sprints too? Now, it's all power and strength? :thhbbb: I'm going to lift weights soon ...
