Another Nutrition Question

Just wondering if I need to eat/drink during a 5 mile swim. It's not a race just working up to it to see how it feels. I am currently swimming about 10k-12k/week. The longest swim I've done is a 3.5 miler and it wasn't particularly challenging but i was also going slower than normal. At what distance do I need to starting fueling up or seriously considering nutrition?

  • What do you eat before swimming? That plays a factor into what you may need during the swim. Also, how long do you think it'll take you to do the 5 miles?
