What you eat around your swim matters just as much as the workout itself.

What you eat around your swim matters just as much as the workout itself.

Before swimming: toast, banana, water. Fast carbs, light on the stomach, already hydrated before you dive in.

After swimming: salmon, rice, broccoli. Protein rebuilds what training broke down. Carbs refuel your glycogen stores. Greens keep inflammation in check.

Before bed: chicken, kiwi, Greek yogurt. Slow digesting protein feeds your muscles while you sleep. And sleep is where the real adaptation happens.

Here is the thing most swimmers miss though — how much you need depends entirely on how hard you trained that day.

An easy technique session needs different fuel than a hard threshold set. A recovery day needs different fuel than a race day.

That is why knowing your training plan in advance changes everything. When you know what is coming, you can prepare your body for it — before you even get in the water.

The MySwimPro app builds your personalized training plan around your goals and schedule — so you always know what your body needs, inside and outside the pool.
