Big news over here 👏🔥

We’re excited to welcome Roger Williams University Swimming & Diving @rwuswimming as a new team partner 🤝🏊‍♂️

Fueling, recovery, and performance just got more intentional 💪⚡

Swimming doesn’t really have an “off-season”… but

Swimming doesn’t really have an “off-season”… but that doesn’t mean your body doesn’t need one.

Between short course ➡️ long course
And long course ➡️ short course

There has to be a window for rest 👇

Because nonstop training without a reset =
❌ burnout
❌ lingering soreness
❌ plateaued performance

That in-between time? It’s not falling behind.
It’s where recovery actually happens 🧠💪

✔️ Let your body recharge
✔️ Let your mind reset
✔️ Come back ready to train harder (and faster)

The swimmers who improve the most long-term aren’t the ones who never stop…
They’re the ones who know when to pause 🔁🏊‍♂️

Most swimmers think slow recovery = not working ha

Most swimmers think slow recovery = not working hard enough.

But sometimes… it’s not your training.
It’s your biology 🧬

The SLC30A8 gene plays a role in how zinc moves into your cells. This directly impacts muscle repair, recovery speed, and even blood sugar stability during training.

When this pathway isn’t as efficient, it can show up like:
• Feeling sore longer than your teammates
• Struggling to bounce back between practices
• Energy dips or “shaky” feelings mid-set ⚡
• Getting dehydrated faster than expected 💧
• Needing more support from key nutrients like zinc

This is why recovery isn’t one size fits all.

Two swimmers can train the exact same way…
and have completely different recovery outcomes.

Understanding what’s happening under the surface helps you support your body better, both in the water and long term.

Proof you don’t need to cook to fuel like an athle

Proof you don’t need to cook to fuel like an athlete 👀

We hear it ALL the time…
“I don’t eat between lunch and practice because I don’t have time to make anything.”

Well, news flash 🚨
You don’t need to cook.

Fueling doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming, it just has to be intentional.

About 2 hours before practice, aim for 👇
✔️ Carbs for energy (this is your main fuel)
✔️ A little protein to support muscle
✔️ A little fat to help keep you satisfied

No stove. No prep. No excuses. 🙃

If you’re skipping this window, you’re showing up underfueled… and it WILL show right during that main set.

This isn’t your basic bowl…
this is how swimmers (and busy humans) actually fuel 💪

✔️ 20g+ protein to support recovery
✔️ Carbs to keep energy up (yes, you need them)
