Key Training Tips
Ceinwen Roberts
We hope your training for the Port to Pub is going well. Being consistent is so important to your improvement – you will really feel the difference in your stroke if you miss a week or even a few days of training. At this busy time of year, it’s really important to stay on track by locking your swim training into your diary and making it a priority. If you’re not swimming in a squad, organise to swim with a friend so you have someone to keep you on track and accountable!
STAYING HYDRATED

You may not have given it much of thought before, but swimming in a heated pool, a steamy indoor pool, or an outdoor pool on a hot, sunny day can lead to loss of fluid through sweat. As you are in the water, it is difficult to perceive your fluid loss during a swimming session.
