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?

Ice bath is tremendous for recovery. Sprinters will get in up to their waists after workouts. All NFL teams use them too. It is unpleaseant.
Also good for recovery is doing the proper cooldown and maybe even an easy swim later in the day if feasable. It promotes blood flow to the muscles without taxing them.
As far as the milk thing? Milk is excellent. You need some fat for muscle building and everyone needs calcium.
