[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the poster who talked about sleep and nutrition. Summer leads to later nights and more junk food. Neither is ideal for peak athletic performance. Focus on earlier bedtimes and filling, nutritious foods. [/quote]

Ugh, no. Summer is supposed to be fun! Who cares about stupid times? Your kid isn’t going to the Olympics.[/quote]

I’m the person you’re responding to. My kids are B meet swimmers, I actually don’t care about the times. But for those who DO care (and a lot of parents and kids do) then this is two areas to look at.

I do think it’s possible to have a fun summer with a balanced diet. Healthy foods for meals—then snack bar junk and ice cream trips here and there. If your kid is aiming for competitive times, try  packing them a healthy meal for the meets instead of getting them hot dogs and donuts. It’s worth a try. We are all busy so it’s hard to fit in packing food, but if THEY care about their times, have them help out. [/quote]
