[quote=Anonymous]I work deck jobs every meet and here is what's been working for me - long-sleeved UPF 50 shirt (not a rash guard, a quick-dry white button up), hat/visor, cooling towel, neck fan, and a large water bottle with liquid IV or Gatorade. I make myself drink every few heats, even if I'm not thirsty. The long-sleeved shirt has been a game-changer. My arms are so much cooler blocked from the sun. Neck towel gets dipped in the pool every new stroke, or doused in cold water (depending on where I'm standing). I did still take a cold shower and a 2 hour nap yesterday, but I didn't feel awful, unlike previous meets. I just like to nap when I get the opportunity. [/quote]
