[quote=Anonymous]I think the heat is taking more out of all of us than we realize. Even on days without a swim meet. And it’s even worse on meet days because the kids are sitting around in what has been very hot weather for hours and then suddenly trying to race at max speed. I grew up swimming at a high level. I still remember a Zones meet that was outdoors in August. I swam really well in the prelims that morning, but it was really hot out and I had been sitting outside in it all morning. Went back to swim finals while it was still really hot in the late afternoon. On my last race my whole body cramped up in the last 15 meters. I seriously thought I wasn’t going to make it to the finish. I had hydrated and done all the things you’re supposed to do, but the heat had just sucked all of my energy out of me.[/quote]
