A snippet from this week's team newsletter:Health - Water- From Tier 10 to Tier 1, water is EXTREMELY important. Here are some recommended amounts of daily water consumption:>> 8-and-unders: 1/3-1/2 gallon>> 9-12 year olds: 1/2-3/4 gallon>> 13-and-overs: 3/4-1 gallon>> Senior elites: 1 gallon- Click HERE for BENEFITS OF DRINKING WATERHealth - Sweaty Armpits- We tell our senior swimmers that we'd like for them to have sweaty armpits during the colder months of October-March- It sounds a little gross but has been very effective at ensuring their body temperatures are kept at a stable place so they are less susceptible to sickness- Swimmers should be wearing enough warm clothes at all times that their arm pits stay sweaty. Treat your swimmers' arm pits like gauges for correct body sickness-preventing temperature.
