Hello GBY Swim Team

I will host two important information session where you all can bring your questions to discuss with me. On Wednesday 17 at 5:00 PM for swimmers only, all swimmers from Silver 1 and Gold should attend, even the girls who are in High School Season. Right after the swimmers session I will be doing the same presentation for parents only (Wednesday 17 at 6:00 PM), all parents are invited.

Our fall season already started, if you did not register yet please do your registration.

Quick Tip.

Fueling before and after practice is important as practicing, you should follow this two steps:

Post-Workout Snack

Within 30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise, consume a 200-300 calorie snack that has a carbohydrate to protein ratio of 4:1 or 3:1. This ratio is best for stimulating muscle growth, providing protein for muscle synthesis and carbohydrates for glycogen replenishment. 

Active Recovery The science behind sports recovery has repeatedly illustrated that active recovery produces significant decreases in blood lactate concentrations when compared to other recovery methods. Active recovery focuses on movements that allow the blood to move and decrease residual fatigue in the muscles without pushing it too hard. Active recovery exercises could include a light continuous swim, a walk, an easy cycle or yoga.
