Blog 2721: County Sprints

A great days Long Course racing on Sunday with valuable experience for all those that entered. Long Eaton won 3 Golds, 6 Silver and 7 Bronze on the day. Most importantly the majority of swimmers learnt something on the day, whether it was about race plans, the importance of skills especially on sprints or starting to understand that consistency and working at the right intensity is how you improve. Hydration was a factor and swimmers are reminded that they should have their drinks bottles in their hands all day and they are to continually sip their drink throughout the day to stay hydrated. 2% dehydration = 10% drop in performance.
