Nutrition Articles & Resources

ASTS wants to provide its athletes with as much information as they can in order for them to succeed in swimming and in life. We constantly are gathering articles and resources that we will share with everyone. Please check back to see what we have added. Many swimmers ask what they should be eating on the day of a meet or the night before in order to swim fast. By then, it's too late. Eating healthy for optimum performance doesn't begin the day of the meet or the night before. It's a healthy lifestyle, an everyday training commitment.
