NLSC Dryside
This area is intended for swimmer, parent, or coach to have the resources to develop themselves and help each other to grow outside of the pool. See below for information regarding nutrition, goal setting, dryland, and a feature on the mental aspect of swimming to become better swimmers and people. This is a work in progress, so some sections may not have information in them yet, but please check back frequently to see how our team is growing!
We are having a Nutrition Spotlight Month starting March 28th through the end of April. Check your email for more information to get involved - and learn how to help fuel your body!
