Hydrate Before and While Swimmimg.

A lot of people think that because you're in the pool, surrounded by water, it's not important to hydrate. We were sweating in there, more than we ever realized because we were working so hard without getting out of the pool.

Don't just rely on your senses. Hydration is tricky; it can fool you. Do everything you can to avoid being reactionary. Make sure you drink before you start feeling the effects of dehydration. By the time you feel thirsty or get that mild headache, your body is already depleted. Get ahead of the game by drinking water in the morning as soon as you wake up and throughout the day. Stay hydrated all the time and you'll be fueling your body for all your workouts.
