Swim Las Vegas ...

I have recently started contributing to a great newsletter published by Swim Las Vegas, a company geared towards helping triathletes in the Las Vegas area increase their speed through water! What's so great about Swim Las Vegas is that they are geared towards both amateur and advanced athletes and I'd go so far as to say that even if you were not a triathlete, but wanted to strengthen your swimming ability, Swim Las Vegas can definitely help. My husband is presently under their guidance (think: complete annihilation of present technique and re-build of more efficient - buoyant - stroke!), and is reaping the benefits of fabulous coaching in an encouraging yet disciplined environment.

So - where does nutrition fit into this? Well, my first and most recent contribution to their monthly newsletter is about how best to fuel your work-outs, and so really does apply to any athlete, triathlete or not. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that it's useful for the health-conscious layman who enjoys working up a sweat, even if she or he never wished to cross a competitive starting line in their life!

If you are interested in learning more about how you can best prepare your body for physical activity (whether that be a 30 minute trip to the gym or a 5-hour training session both on land and in water ...), go to http://www.swimlv.com/nutrition-for-athletes.html and download the newsletter to read my full article. If you are simply bored of my take on nutrition but really need the help of a good swim coach, I still highly recommend visiting http://www.swimlv.com !
